The theme for that challenge is Masking Technique 

Well everybody here is my take on a Western Theme:

I had fund doing this card! I used a speckle cream card as my base and made an A5 card

I took this lovely medium brown handmade paper and wet the 

edges and just tore it to give me the distressed look

and took Walnut Stain Distress Ink and inked

the edges and rolled 1 corner

I took a bit of cream hessian cloth and fray the edges

and ran my the  Walnut Stain Distress Ink over the

the hessian

I used a Marianne Die form my frame and used a dark brown

card stock

Well did I had fun doing this Image!

I stamped my image that is from SweetStamps.com
Horse Portrait Oval with Brown Memento

and embossed it with Clear Embossing Powder

I used 2 distressed inks Pumice Stone &

Walnut Stain to color my image

I cut it out and inked up with Versamark Ink

I took Deep Impressions Clear Embossing Powder

all over and heat it with my heat gun

I done this twice I really wanted a nice thick image

After about 20 min I started to bend my image to

created a crackle effect!

Then framed it with this lovely die cut frame from Marianne Designs

Well that is my Western Theme card.

The supplies I used from Sweet Stamps Store:

Hi everybody!

Well I really hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I have such a busy week ahead of me! We are going down to England for a few day with the Motor Home or as some people know it as a RV.  We going to a big Motor Home and Caravan Show with a group of our friends.  So it will be a very busy weekend! We have about 5 hours to drive down from Scotland. We are surely looking forward to it!

***********

Here is my Recipe!

I decided to just go for CAS and Monochrome

Well lets begin

I used plain white cards stock as my main card and made a A6

I had this lovely pearl embossed card for a very long time

I think I bought it in South Africa in 2007! I used it as my base

I used several different dies and I just love how everything came together

on the end.

I added some black pearls for little bit of bling!

For my main image I used this lovely Cameo Silhouette from

SweetStamps and it is from their lovely range of 

SweetCut Dies  

I used Black Card stock to cut her out

The supplies I used from Sweet Stamps Store:

Well it is again time for another monthly technique across at

I made my background  like a patchwork quilt with the squares

all measuring 3.5 cm and used the papers that I used

to do the Paper Piecing on my image

I layered it with plain red card stock

for my image I used the Mr & Mrs Snow Duo 207K from SweetStamps.com

The DP papers I used is from Wild Rose Studio - Traditional Christmas

I made the broom stick from a Tooth Pick and Butchers Twine
