Using a Stampin’ Up Not Quite Navy ink spot, swiped it on the top left corner of a 4″ x 5.5″ piece of Very Vanilla card stock.
Swiped a Bravo Burgundy ink spot on the card stock creating stripes.
Smeared Soft Suede ink around the sides of the card stock.
Swiped Early Espresso ink at the edges of the card stock, not covering the Soft Suede ink entirely.
Ripped a Post it note mask in the shape of a mountain. Masked the card stock and sponged Soft Suede ink in the mountain shape.
Stamped the Cowboy using Basic Black ink.
Colored the cowboy in to create a silhouette.
Filled the bottom of the card stock in by swiping Soft Suede ink on.
Swiped Basic Black ink at the bottom of the card stock to create the ground.
Stamped the star in the Not Quite Navy ink area using Whisper White ink.
Sponged Basic Black ink around the edges of the card stock.
Cut a 4.75″ x 6.25″ piece of Soft Suede card stock and sponged Basic Black ink around the edges.
Added two Bravo Burgundy card stock panels and gold brads.
Here is the finished card measuring 5″ x 6.5″.
May your day be one to remember.
Hugs,
Michelle
