This is my card for the MMTPT347 challenge "Whykickamoocow Meets the Wild, Wild West". Our cards this week should feature artifacts, lassos, dream catchers, log cabins; pictures of trading posts, cowboys and Indians, horses, boots....bring a touch of the wild, wild, west to Gene, who loves Louis L'Amour books and is a published author in his own right.
The only thing I own that is even remotely Western is this paper from My Mind's Eye. SInce it's actually 12 x 12, I scanned the corner with the cowboy and resized it in Photoshop before printing it out on medium weight cs. I sponged the edges with Distress Antique Linen, Old Paper, and Pumice Stone inks, lightly distressed the edges and matted it with a piece of black cs. I distressed those edges and attached the layer to a matching craft foam die cut.
I crated a flap-fold card base from Crumb Cake cs and heavily sponged the right edge with Pumice Stone ink. I stamped a piece of the same cs with the bookshelves stamp, also using Pumice STone ink, and cut it it to size. It was attached to the card base with Sookwang tape and the focal image added. You can't see it in the photo but I scored the small flap vertically every quarter inch for added interest.
As always, thanks for looking!
