Wanted

Happy Waltzing day, friends! If you have no idea what I'm talking about, it is the 17th of the month and that means a fabulous blog waltz for all of us fans of Waltzingmouse Stamps! Head over to the forum to start from the beginning - you won't be disappointed you did! :)

This month, we're showcasing masculine cards and I had a lot of fun making this card with my Way out West and Back in the Saddle sets! I stamped a kraft card base with the woodgrain stamp from Way out West and then layered a sheet of patterned paper over the top. I stamped the wanted poster from Back in the Saddle on cream card stock and then inked and distressed the edges to give it a worn look. I stamped and cut out the horse and layered it in the center of the poster (hard to see in the picture) for a bit of dimension.

I finished the card with a Tim Holtz compass sticker and ticket, a wool ribbon, and some gold stars.

I can't wait to see what masculine cards you all made. Off to waltz with you! Have a great day!

Supplies: Stamps - Back in the Saddle, Way out West (WMS), DP - Wanted Collection (Cosmo Cricket), Card Stock - Confetti Kraft (SU!), Vintage Cream (PTI), Ink - Chocolate Chip, Basic Black (SU!), Tea Dye Duo (PTI), Distressing Tool (Making Memories), Sticker/Ticket (Tim Holtz), Ribbon/Stars (SU!)
