Bday for BIL

My bil is a huge fan of anything

to do with the Old West.

I thought including a buffalo would make

a great masculine card for him.

 

I recently saw Jennifer McGuire

paint with colored embossing paste

so I thought that technique would be

perfect for the front, hairy part of

this buffalo.  I dyed the paste with

Distress Inks and Stain and applied

it with a paint brush after inking

my white cardstock with StazOn

brown ink. The buffalo is a

Silhouette file. I cut 4 and stacked

them all together.

 

 

The background is made on watercolor paper

with gelatos and Distress paint.

The tree is from Unity and the sentiment

is from PTI. I added a bit of grass around

his feet with Distress markers & Copics.

 

This is inspired by the Mix-Ability #76

Challenge to fingerpaint.
