Hi again, and here is a card I made for the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity newest challenge: Man Cave. This challenge runs until the end of September, so you still have lots of time to enter. Just one rule: your entry must include some rubber-stamping.
For this card I used the Waltzing Cowboys stamp from Lost Coast Designs and the All Together clear stamp from Carmen's Veranda. Be sure to check out the newest clear stamps at Carmen's Veranda - they will for sure put a smile on your face!
This was so simple. I stamped my cowboys using black ink onto a piece of coffee dyed paper. I tore around the edges and used some Vintage Photo Distress Ink to age the edges. My background is a piece of map of Yellowstone Park, and I cut that to fit my central image and inked the edges of this as well.
I used my sewing machine and black thread to stitch around the edges of my stamped panel, stitching it in place to the center of the card front. Next I stamped my sentiment onto a scrap of coffee stained paper and stitched it with black thread as well. I positioned it at the bottom of the card and fastened it with foam tape.
That's it! I love the vintage-y look that coffee stained paper gives to any project, and it's so easy to do. If you haven't tried it yet, you will love the results!
