Back in the Saddle Single Layer

Here I wanted to make single layer card using Theresa's "Out West" and a few simple technique to create depth.
I started stamping the saddle in Memento Black onto Gina K Pure Luxury Vanilla Base weight Cardstock so I can color it with my Copics and not worrying about it bleeding through. After finished, I placed an oval mask over it and stamped the crackle background from Gina's Bold Flowers all overs it, and sponging Rich Cocoa, Creamy Caramel, and RangerAntique Linen all over before removing. I removed the mask then went back in with more antique linen working toward the saddle but leaving it lightest in the middle. I stamped this greeting at the bottom and then tied a long loop of hemp around the side and making a loop which I secured to the right of the greeting with a little Mono Multi so it frames up the senitment like a lasso, isn't that fun?



I love the challenge of single layer cards and the "layers" you can create with masks, stamps, and ink, and I LOVE THIS SET!

Our Gina K sneak peeks start Monday! (but she's already started a bit of peeking, did you see?) Party this Thursday can't wait, can't wait!

See ya round, pardner! ;)
