I started off by stamping my image in memento tuxedo black ink onto MFP white storm premium paper and then stippling several inks around and over the image. Once I was satisfied with the ink coverage, I layered my cowboy and then added some pewter baby brads before stamping the barbed wire fence in memento black ink directly onto some wood grain designer paper I found in my stash before layering that and adding the same pewter baby brads to resemble nails. The only embellishments I added to my card were some buttons and bakers twine.
Thanks for stopping by today. Have a great day and don't forget to stop by the rest of the design team blogs and leave some love for a chance to win today's featured set.
