Nothing is more "outside" than the open Range here in the Southwest. I inked my brayer with the Calypso rainbow pad then brayered over my glossy cardstock until I was happy with the coverage then sponged around the edges with black. Die cut my cowboys and decided to add a cactus in the foreground for interest. I only have the small Recollections potted cactus dies so elongated it about an inch and added some score lines on the extra.
This will go to our square dance caller who raises horses on his ranch here.

What a terrific masculine card this is. Your brayered sky is gorgeous and highlights these cowboys and your wonderful cactus perfectly. What a great card to make for your square dance caller! ~Karen.

I so agree with you, Linda, wish I could get past the heat...how about communities in the North of your region. I am afraid I would wilt! Your bg is over the top stunning! Love the Saguaro cactus in shadow
