Today we are highlighting Southwest Cowboys!
I used the three galloping horses stamp to make my own designer paper. I cut out the big cactus and popped it up on the sentiment panel using foam dimensionals. I distressed and sponged all the edges.
All supplies for this card are from Marks Finest Papers.
