I've been meaning to do a card with the faux tooled leather bg for a while now. It's one of my favorite techniques. Today's color challenge to create white cards got me to thinking about do this technique in white.....why not? Heat embossed the bg stamp with versamark and clear ep. Then sponged river rock ink over it to bring out the details of the stamp. The rest came out of the scrap pile. Couldn't find a second copper ring in either the shiny or aged variety, so I used what I had and it will just have to do.
Pat Smethers, if you see this, I gotta tell ya, I was thinking of you the whole time I was making this. I know you love this technique as much as I do!

Lol! Lynnor- I've had two PM's about this technique today and referred them to your gallery! How funny is that? I always give you credit for teaching this to me long ago! Thanks for sharing your beautiful work. I love CDS, and this lil horsey is one of my favs. Your faux leather looks great in white! I am sooo having to try this! Love the hardware you used too- perfection sistah! Hey, you rock, you know that?

Oh Charlie is soooooo cute. I don't have this one. I need to get him. I just love your hardware, and coloring and BG. Love the blue outline on Charlie.
