Today for Sabrina's challenge we are remembering John Wayne. We are to do a western theme. It is always so interesting when Sabrina has a challenge. she steers us to the technique tutorials. I've had this stamp for along time, and it has never seen ink. Today it was inked....just added a little water coloring on the image. Using my misti, inked it up several times. Using the faux leather technique for the background. I even used some star brads...remember them...to finish the card. TFL

LOVE it!!! It's always nice to find inspiration for those stamps we all have that we haven't used yet. Beautiful job with today's challenge!

Fabulous, Linda! You certainly nailed this challenge! The image is colored so beautifully. The faux leather is super. Now I remember those star brads - I forgot I have some - got to go dig them out.

Here is the Duke himself!!! Great scene and coloring -- my Uncle loved John Wayne and watched every movie he came out with.

Oh, Linda, this is amazing! Your background technique is fabulous, and Julie is right about this being John's Rooster Coburn character! Fabulous card that brings back some wonderful old western movie memories! Hugs!
