Welcome back Dies R Us friends!
Today I'm sharing a happy western themed card that I've created
for one of my cousins who has loved horses for over 60 years. She's
about to go on another Wagon Train adventure and I wanted to wish her a
safe trip!
The dies I've used today are:
Other product used is Tim Holtz Oxide Distress Inks
I
wanted to bring full focus to this beautiful silhouette scene so I've
added dimension to die cutting twice and placing the two panels together
using dimensional tape.
To
create my background I've sponged three different colors of oxide ink
onto a 4x6 panel of watercolor paper, spritzed with water and moved
around before drying with a heat gun. Then I added a little more color
around around the outside edges before sprinkling with water and dabbing
with a paper towel.
I
just love creating my own backgrounds and feel it made for a wonderful
nighttime backdrop to this fabulous silhouette. I think she's going to
love it!!
Here's a couple photos of my cousin and her 'grandson' on the wagontrain last year.
