This card for ATCAS starts with one of my favorite background paper techniques the embossing folder stamping method. On the open ef I applied three colors of distress ink, spritzed with water and then lightly tapped a piece of white card stock on top. When the ink was dry I stamped and heat embossed the horse/rider and the sentiment. I attached this to blue cs and then the entire piece onto a piece of SU! confetti white cs which is one of my all time favorites as I love the color imperfections in the paper.
Paper - SU! Whisper White, Pool Party, Confetti White
Ink - Distress Ink: Broken China, Tumbled Glass, Pumice Stone, VersaFine
Embossing Folder - Sizzix "Chevron"
Stamps - Horse came from a Red Rubber bin at a craft show, that cost about 50 cents a piece
MFT "Cowgirl" (sentiment)
Other - Embossing Powder
