Time for a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches. The sketch this week is brought to us by Jen M! I had ever intent of doing a Christmas themed card……..I somehow managed to get way off path to the rustic western look. I am sure it had something to do with a new stamp set just begging to be inked!
The stamp set is a new release by My Favorite Things. I am a sucker for horse stamps, so it quickly went into my cart upon release! I knew the set would go great with the Dakota paper line by Close To My Heart. I really wanted to add some black burlap to my design…but was short on time…and dying burlap take a little time, at least the drying part! I ended up adding some drywall tape, colored with a black Copic for added texture.
All supplies by Close To My Heart, except where noted:
Howdy Stamp Set by MFT
X7157B Dakota Paper Pack
Z2503 Basics Pigment Inks
Z2429 Ruby Marker Set
Z821 Clear Embossing Powder

What a great card Alissa … such a refreshing change! I just love how you mix and match papers, patterns and textures so well …. fabulous work!
Great card Allisa! I love that drywall tape! Never would have thought of that! Love all of the layers! That horse stamp is so fabulous! Love it!
Oh my gosh! I love everything about this card! The colored drywall tape is sheer genius! I'm not sure whether it's ribbon or a strip of DSP on top of the black grosgrain, but I love that, too!
