Today's card was created for the MFP Speedy Fox & Friends challenge #249 which is to heat emboss with white and sponge on several colors.
I pulled out my favorite MFP stamp set "Southwest Cowboy" and built the card from there. The background was done with a retired SU! flannel background stamp, white ep, and 4 Memento inks - rich cocoa, desert sand, summer sky, and blue danube. The image was stamped with espresso ink, colored, and then covered with clear detail ep and heat-set, and then fussy cut after those steps. I placed it on 2 Lil Inker stitched rectangles of vanilla and pacific point, adding a snippet of espresso cardstock for the sentiment. The final touch was the brass brads for a masculine feel. I was going for a worn flannel look, and I think what I envisioned is what I ended up with :)
I'm also going to share this over at the Snippets Playground #164 - which is always to use snippets.
Thanks for stopping by and have a happy Wednesday!

Neat Masculine card. I like that image and great background you created here.
Wow! Stunning effect! Beautiful and very masculine card, I didn't know this technique, never seen before! Great work!
I think you've accomplished exactly what you were going for. I love the look. Nice job with the image and those brads to top everything off in a very masculine way. Have a good night.

Since The Duke was my fav all time cowboy, I really like this one. The stitched mats look like a suede shirt behind this elevated cowpoke, and your background really does have a look of soft faded flannel. A wonderful & perfect masculine card! TFS & hugs.
I love that background you created and it really is a fantastic masculine card. You just gotta love The Duke. Thanks so much for playing with us at Speedy Fox and Friends.
