After masking off the edges of the Corn Husk cardstock with Eclipse tape, I stamped images from two different Mark’s Finest Papers’ sets (Regal & Proud and Southwest Cowboy). The cactus was stamped first, using Versafine Sepia and clear embossed. Then I stamped the mountains in the background and the two horses. Finally I sponged in the sky, mountains, and ground. The sentiment is just the first line of the haiku by F. Kessler from Southwest Cowboy. The card base is MFP Deepest Mahogany with a mat of Hazelnut. Western is not my style, but I’m happy with the result.
I've had these cowboy boots salt and pepper shakers for quite some time -- I found them at a flea market. They were apparently used at one time because the salt in the one boot has tarnished (beyond repair) the finish.
