Western Heritage

Generic tan paper
Turquoise fence paper- The Paper Studio wood fence-turquoise
The brands and labels I cut out from generic Alpha dies, label dies, and a heart punch.
Photos are backed in black
No packaging or identification for the alphas.
The boots and rope embellishment came from a private swap, credit- Ann Gullen.

The wood paper was a single sheet that I cut in half making irregular cuts across the boards and then moving up or down the planks at each bold black line indicating it was a new board. That way I could use one half on one page and the other half on the other, maximizing a single sheet of the turquoise woodgrain paper. I then inked all the edges of the wood grain and the labels with Tim Holtz ground espresso distress ink. Once the majority of the ink was used on my blotter, I gently brushed over the top of each label in sporadic places to give it that dirty look, same with the strip behind the title.
The rope is jute wrapped twice and hot glued into place with a small section tucked behind the corner of the wood grain to give the hanging-on-a-fence appearance.
