WANTED

My hubby and his family love horses and have a barn full of them on their farm. So, when I first saw this stamp set in the Fall-Winter Collection, I knew that I had to add it to my arsenal! This stamp set, Wanted, closely coordinates with the Style Watch Collection Boho West. So, of course, I had to also order the Outlaw Designer Series Paper and Jumbo Eyelets!!

I normally don't use whole lot of Sage Shadow, but I really like the way it looks when you pair it with Chocolate Chip and Close to Cocoa. So, for the base of the card (which measures 5 1/4" x 5 1/4") I pulled out a sheet of Sage Shadow. The card base is stamped with the large circle design and then I sponged the edges for a distressed look.

I used a sheet of patterned paper from Outlaw for the background behind the image. Its matted on a piece of sponged and distressed Chocolate Chip. I used my Chocolate Chip Craft Pad to stamp "WANTED" at the bottom of the patterned paper.

The main image is a piece of distressed Very Vanilla cardstock lightly stamped with the large circle design in Close to Cocoa and the paisley image in Sage Shadow (I stamped off twice before I stamped the images on the Very Vanilla). The horse image is stamped first with the Chocolate Chip Craft Pad and then repeatedly stamped - without reinking.

The card looked a little plain as it was, so I added some twill tape that was sponged with Chocolate Chip ink and two Jumbo Eyelets. (Setting the Jumbo Eyelets is SUPER easy with the Crop-A-Dile!!) Perfect for my favorite cowboy!
