accessories - heat gun, black embossing powder, woodgrain EF, chevron EF, word window punch, large oval punch, mini brads, twine, sponge, corner rounder, paper piercing template, spellbinders nestabilities circle dies (to create circle frame)

This card is for my father-in-laws birthday - I still have stuch a hard time coming up with a masculine card.

After stamping the image in craft white, I heat embossed with black powder; sponged bashful blue and basic gray around the image. Embossed black with woodgrain EF, then cut circle out to overlay on cowboy image. Used two sizes of circle nestabilities to create the crumb cake circle frame. Used paper piercing template to pierce around outer edge of cowboy circle.
It is hard to see in the photograph, but the bottom marina mist piece is embossed with the chevron EF. There is also a mini brad in the top left corner that is hard to see.
