So after looking through the list of stamp sets with animals and not being able to decide I thought about what card I would need soon so I chose Out West which was designed by Theresa and sold by GinaK. My husband and I were blessed with 8 children - all adopted & all very different! One of our sons is a farrier by trade and horses are his love. He has a birthday coming up so this card will be for him.
I stamped the image on Pure Luxury White and then colored the image with Copics. After using one of my Nestabilities I sponged around the image with Vivid Taupe. I then used the lattice square Nestabilities to place behind the horse and ran some twine though the loops and curled them on opposite corners. I stamped the rope from GinaK's Guiding Light and the sentiment is from Candles on my Cake, also from GinaK. I added some silver brads and a cowboy boot charm. The layers are Pure Luxury Ivory and Tan Leather.
You should have arrived from Melissa Schultz blog and you were undoubtedly blown away! If you want to start at the beginning or get lost along the way, just head on over to the home page of StampTV.
Now hop on over to visit Pam Imholz for some more inspiration. Thanks for hopping along with us and for the kind comments you leave. It is good to be back!
