Paper Players Sketch Challenge 2

DSCF8582

Yeehaw!  Lesley has a great sketch for us to play with this week over at Always Playing with Paper!  I managed to play with some new SU goodies before I left!  First, here’s the sketch:

Sketch 2

And here’s my card:

DSCF8579

This uses Out West along with the new Love Letter DP; my old faithful Sanded background stamp provided a rustic backdrop.  I am thrilled that SU came out with this set.  It makes a great masculine card, and I love the artwork style.  The images were all stamped in Riding Hood Red, but before stamping, I went over some of the details with a Chocolate Chip marker…I love the effect of it!

I lightly stamped Sanded on my main panel and hat as well.  I trimmed a wide striped grosgrain ribbon down to a more manageable size and fringed the edges; the three little brads have a little linen thread entwined around just for a little more interest.

Now gallop on over to the Always Playing with Paper blog to find out all the details and to see the other Paper Players’ creations!  And play along!  It’s a fun sketch and we can’t wait to see what you come up with!  Oh, I almost forgot to show you the inside sentiment!  Yeehaw!  Another new set!

You always have some of the coolest ideas!! I love how you accented the stamp with color before stamping, and what you did with that ribbon really lends a western feel to this great card! YeeHaw, wait until momacow sees this one!!

Boy do I love the colors in this card. What you did with the ribbon and brads are more LeAnne great idea. You must have a million. I think you could write a book.

Really like the set you used and the colors. Is Crumb Cake ink used on the sanded and the skull inside? Just wondering what it looked like. tfs
