HEARTFELT CREATIONS WEDNESDAY!

Let me say I haven't been able to get enough of the "My Guy" collection at Heartfelt Creations! As soon as I saw these stamps a particular Bon Jovi song came to mind. I knew I would do something with it and this week it finally came to life!

WANTED

"I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride

I'm wanted, dead or alive..."

~ Bon Jovi

I had an a total blast creating this project. I used a 12x12 piece of cork for the background. I used my Big Bite to punch holes in it and then I dripped glimmer glaze in red along the sides. I also inked the edges in distess ink for shading.

I printed the poster out on canvas paper. The chains are Tim Holtz and the cogs were a gift from my design team gal Renea. (Thank you dear) I stamped the hat/rope and the guitar/boots on a shaded piece of red paper. I cut the stamps out for embellishments. I also did this with the horse shoes and put them in the center of my cogs.

I stamped the horse on craft metal because we can't forget the steel horse now can we?

Cut a layer of pattern paper with deckle scissors and another layer of pattern paper (in this case I chose a newsprint) Using the deckle scissors just free cut the paper in a random way to resemble torn paper.
