Inked Embossing

While playing with ideas for kids' cards, I decided to use an embossing folder that was inked up via a brayer.  I brayered Early Espresso ink on the Woodgrain embossing folder and then embossed the Crumb Cake cardstock.  The color and texture combination resulted in a somewhat rustic feel and the minute I saw the embossed cardstock I thought "cowboy".  So out came the Pennant Parade stamp set with the coordinating punch, linen thread and the Wacky Wishes hostess stamp set.  What really captured the cowboy theme was the fact that I have a CTMH stamp set which includes the word "cowboy".  A fun little card and quite different than my "pretty" posts--lol!  Have a great day!
