We are freezing our little patooties off here in Upstate NY! Highs of 8 degrees, snowing and blowing. Yuck!! I hope things are better where you are.
Today I have another sneak peek at a Shady Tree Studios release, this set is called "Western Lace". I have two pretty different kinds of cards just to show you the versatility of this set. The first one is more subtle and romantic.
The card base is 4 1/4" square and made of kraft. I masked off the strip on the left and repeatedly stamped one of the lace images in white ink. Between the thicker white ink and the more course kraft card stock the fine detail of the image got a bit lost but I still liked the subtle look. I created score lines along each side once the ink dried. The heart was die cut out of felt and I added one of the sentiments in the set.I went a bit more literal with the next card, using some Cosmo Cricket Wanted paper for a western feel. This time I used brown ink and it captured all the lovely details in the star image.
I sponged plenty of Antique Linen Distress ink on the edges of the image before adding a decorative brad and some twine. It never hurts to have a few masculine cards on hand! I hope you enjoyed my sneaks today, the other DT members will have more samples to see as well!
Tomorrow I just may have a prize up for grabs, be sure to check back!

Wonderful cards, Tracy! The heart goes perfectly with the sentiment font and I love the lace background. And your "Wanted" card is so cool ~ the star is perfect with that brad in the center!
Those are neat! I just love how you did the first one!
