Western Saloon New Job Bartender Card

Created this card for a friend who got a new job after being unemployed for 1 yr. She went to bartending school, finished the bartending program last mth & got a job as a bartender this wk. I decided to make it a Western theme and use the Tim Holtz Saloon & Wild West stamps. She likes the card & job.

I used a Tim Holtz Burlap embossing folder for cobble stone street look n Kraft cardstock. Used Tim Holtz core'dinations cardstock for blue, red & yellow. Used heat embossing for the sentiment. Added ribbon.
