There's none more manly than The Duke

All through the month of June we're celebrating men. The men in my family love to spend Sundays watching Westerns and there's no cowboy more manly than John Wayne, The Duke. My card today is an homage to those rugged men in movie Westerns.

I found a great black and white image of John Wayne (please don't ask me what movie it's from) in an old Mailbox Muse kit. There were other Hollywood collages in that kit, which is where the words came from. The other cowboy images were on the Old West and Vintage Cowboy sheets.

The black bar border and white stars border gave me the old-time movie feel I was looking for. I rounded out the design with two rubber stamps from the Muse Hollywood Movies stamp set.

Supplies Used:

Muse Hollywood Stamps

Old West collage

Vintage Cowboys collage

12" Edgers

6" Edgers

Glue & tape adhesive

Black ink (to edge the images)

And if you like cowboys, check out this kit! There is only one left!!

Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages. I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent! Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar. Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them. Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA! You have made your own solvent for literally pennies. You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a HUGE jar on the window sill! Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
