I created this card for the inspiration challenge. I chose two images from the site that lead me to my card today: Arizona Glasses and Cowboy Mug .
I stamped the cacti and cowboy onto the lighter brown paper using memento rich cocoa ink and then sponged on more especially around the edge. I created the mountain in the distance with scraps of the same lighter brown paper, but sponged them more heavily. The bg is the larger cactus stamp from the set. The green it is on has a blue cast in my photo which I couldn't seem to get rid of. Oh well. It's cloudy and a little drizzley here today, so I'm sure that affected the color. I only had red brads with me, so I colored them brown with my Copic marker and added them to the top corners.
What do you think?
