Instructions:

1. Swipe the corners and edges of 4¾”x4¾” Kraft cardstock with VersaMark™, dust with Detail Capri embossing powder and set with the heat set. Run a glue stick over the corners of the cardstock, sprinkle Teal Color Fragments over the glue, shake off the excess and let dry.
2. Glue the piece at an angle (as shown) over a 5”x5” black suede paper. Wrap black and tan twine across the piece twice, tying a knot on the left.
3. Card front: Place a blank card with the fold on top and cut 1½” from the right side, making a 5”x5” card. Glue the twined piece onto the card front.
4. Use VersaMark™ to stamp the Rodeo Girl on 4”x4” Kraft cardstock. Dust with black embossing powder, shake off the excess and set with the heat gun. Use the VersaMarker™ to highlight “Ride like a Girl”, the cowgirl’s clothes, the saddle and reins. Dust with Detail Capri embossing powder and heat set.
5. Swipe the corners and edges of the cardstock with VersaMark™, dust with Aged Teal and Detail Capri embossing powders. Heat set. Place Teal Mica flakes on the corners and re-heat the embossed areas from underneath, to set the flakes in place. Mat the piece on black suede with a 1/16" border. Glue at an angle on the card front, as shown.
6. Zot™ on three teal flowers and a double bow of ¼” teal sheer ribbon, on the left.
