Bronc Buster 2

I decided to give the Bronc Buster set another try, just for fun.

This card here is just the base and one layer. The base is Naturals White card stock and the layer is Whisper White. I brayered the WW with Sahara Sand and stamped the Bronc Buster on it. I used post it notes to cover the top of the card and sponged around the image with sponge daubers and Going Gray ink and Basic Gray ink. I then brayered the top with Going Gray and sponged it with Basic Gray. I then used my Bronco Wheel and Basic Grey ink on the top part. Added a little bit of faux stitching with my Going Gray marker and stamped the swirls with Versamark. And the card was done.


Here I wanted to try NOT using the biggest image. I'm not sure if I like it or not. The colors are not my usual colors except for Chocolate Chip. More Mustard and Creamy Caramel are not on my Favorites list. I stamped the swirls with Versamark and I used a Chocolate Chip marker for the stars and horse shoe. Added Crystal effects on the stars.


Here I stamped the image with Versamark and used my pastel chalks to give the image a little bit more color, then covered it with Crystal Effects, which I think was a mistake, I don't think I'll do that again. The colors in this card are Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa, Creamy Caramel and Really Rust.


This card is a simple one. I stamped the image with Versamark and used my chalks to give it more color. I then used a sponge dauber to make the card look a little bit dirty. I used a marker and colored the sentiment before I stamped it. Added the Chocolate Chip layer and the hemp cord.

Next weekend I'll use Embrace Life and the weekend after I promise to use one of the new sets ;)

Bronc Buster

This weekend I'm showing you a few cards made with the Bronc Buster (#109529) set. I used the Western Sky Designer Paper (#110272) on all the cards, I love the colors in that series.


The first card is big, it fits in a standard business envelope. It's the first time I make a card this big and I'm satisfied with the results. I started out by cutting a circle out of a post-it note using my Coluzzle, I then placed the circle on a piece of Whisper White cardstock where I wanted the moon to be. I then sponged the whole piece using Soft Sky ink and Chocolate Chip. I then took the circle off and sponged the moon a little bit with Soft Sky. I inked up my cowboy on the horse stamp and stamped it on the paper. I had seen this done on another card an liked the look, so it's not my idea ;) I like the look of torn paper and decided to do that on trhe designer paper for a rougher look, I also sponged all edges. The eyelets are Antique Brass Jumbo Eyelets (#108431)

This one is pretty simple. I stamped the image on Soft Sky cardstock using Chocolate Chip ink and then colored in a little bit using a Sahara Sand marker. All paper edges are sponged using Chocolate Chip ink.

This card is a little bit more complicated than the others. I stamped the image using Versamark on Sahara Sand Cardstock. Poured clear embossing powder on it and heat set it. I then sponged over the image using Not Quite Navy ink and Chocolate Chip. By embossing the image it stayed the same color as the cardstock and by sponging I colored around the image. I think this technique is so much fun. It's called Embossing Resist.
The Thank You is from Short & Sweet (#109369).

I had a bunch of treat bags in my stash and wanted to try to use it on a project. The base, Chocolate Chip cardstock, is in two pieces, the front piece is 4 1/4 x 8 inches. Scored at 2 1/4 to make the bottom. The back is 4 1/4 x 10 inches, scored at 2 1/4 (bottom) and 8. I clued the bottom pieces together using my sticky strip. The image is stamped the same way as the one on the first card. I also use sticky strip for it but I onle glued 2/3 of it down so I could slip the flip under it (to close it). I punched holes on the bag and the back of the card and used Chocolate Chip 5/8" grosgrain ribbon (#109051) to tie it to the card. My bag is full of Tootsie Rolls ;) but you can put anything that fits, in the bag.
