Here are my pretty posies:
I also made the following card for the CASual Fridays Back in Black challenge.
I've had the alterations texture fades sitting around unused and yesterday I stumbled across a video of Tim Holtz demonstrating them. It had never occured to me to use the sticky back canvas squares I had purchased for a home decor project. I ran the canvas through my Big Shot with the sunburst texture fade then inked it up with some Distress Inks and roughed up the edges a bit. I wanted to keep the black background but create a subtle mat so I cut a black mat and misted it with gold glimmer mist to make it stand out just a smidge. "Happy Trails" is also embossed in gold. The final touch was to dry emboss a wavy line for the horse and cowboy to gallop along.
Thanks for stopping by to take a look and my creative endeavors today.
