Boots, Lace, and A Whole Lotta Grace Die Cut Card

Hello crafty friends!  Today I have a fun card to share with you that features Honey Bee Stamps' new Lovely Layers: Western Wear dies, Lovely Layers: Mini Desert Blooms dies, and the Saddle Up sentiment stamps and coordinating Honey Cuts!  All of these products are part of Honey Bee's awesome Sawdust and Saddles release!

I die cut the Lovely Layers: Western Wear dies for the boot from 80# white cardstock.  I colored the pieces with various Copic markers.  Then I used Bee Creative glue to adhere the layers.

Next I die cut all of the die in the Lovely Layers: Mini Desert Blooms Honey Cuts from more white cardstock.  This time I used ink blending brushes to color the pieces with various inks in my stash.  Using the Layering Guide is so helpful when glueing the layers together.

For the card base, I die cut some lacy patterned paper from the Textiles & Textures: Vintage paper pad with the largest Sweet Stacks: Rectangles dies.  I glued this to an A2 card base.  Next I die cut white cardstock with the third largest Sweet Stacks: Ovals die.  Then I placed it in the Burlap 3D embossing folder and ran it through my die cutting machine.

Before I adhered the oval to the card base, I tied a bow around it with some lace seam binding that's been in my stash forever!  Haha!  Then I added foam tape to the back of the oval to adhere it to the card.

I glued the Mini Desert Blooms onto the boot and adhered it to the card with foam tape.  I tucked the two cactuses at the base of the boot with glue and foam tape.

The sentiment is from the awesome Saddle Up stamp set.  After I stamped it with black pigment ink and then die cut it with the coordinating die.  I added foam tape strips to adhere it.

I thought the boot needed to be fancied up, so I added gem stickers from the Aurora Borealis gem stickers set.

I love the lace and textures of this card!  I sure hope you've found inspiration from my card today.  Thank you so much for stopping by!
