Wild and Wonderful


There's another noon time Wild and Wonderful Challenge on the Flourishes blog as they continue to celebrate a new release this week.  This time we're to create a "rugged" card that would represent the wild west.  I went with the wooden DP background that was distressed and sponged with Black Soot distress ink.  I added black jute twine and figured these coneflowers are bound to be found blooming on a prairie!  I love that this set has a matching Silhouette cut file...so much easier than fussy cutting!  I used X-Press It Blending Card then colored with Copics.
This uses Chupa's layout for her Sketch Saturday Challenge.

STAMPS: With Gratitude by Flourishes
PAPER: "On the Bright Side" DP by MME, White
ACCESSORIES: Postage Stamp Nestie, Square Nestie, Jute twine, Distressing tool.
COPICS: YR12, YR15, YR18, Y19, YG93, YG95, YG99.

Another beautiful fall day on board in VA!  Love this time of year!  Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
