Another collection released at this show is a fun mix of cowboy and western images. Thanks to Ellen for taking this picture in the booth at CHA!
Here are a few samples - these again are so fun and versatile, and work so well with the grunge and collage images released earlier this summer.
A CAS card inspired by those classic cowboy shirts...

A clean layout, watercolored image, with a mixed media/grunge panel featuring Woodgrain and Chicken Wire Cover-a-Card stamps, along with some new ones from the Cowboy collection...
Love the shine of Brilliance Copper ink over the acrylic paint.

Finally, a grunge stenciled background using stamps, Fluid Chalk and Brilliance inks, acrylic paints, and spray paints. This is another chalkboard-inspired image and favorite John Wayne quote. The star was embossed into the painted panel using a Quickutz die. I used the Chicken Wire Cover-a-Card stamp and also French Ledger, which I am pretty sure has NEVER been put away, ever.
I used a Quickutz Star die to indent my cardstock without cutting through - I just wanted the impression of the star there.
