For this week's free-for-all challenge: texture. I'd discovered that passing a piece of cs through two or three times, with different ef's, will really beat it up well, making it look a bit like worn leather. This one went through with the square lattice ef, and then again with a scrap of burlap and the sb embossing mat.
Love the quote by John Wayne: "Courage is being scared to death and saddling up anyway."

I must remember that next time I'm trying to thoroughly distress some cardstock for faux suede!
Love the soft background you created for the great cowboy image - the crackle is spot on.

Thanks SCSers for all your encouragement!
Ride 'em cowboy!! Love, Love, Love John Wayne!! Wish we had some more good ones like him. Of course, I really like the sentiment. I also like your worn looking background and cowboy. Great card! TFS
