Remember, you can only enter the challenge one time, those using Sweet Stamps images will get an extra drawing in the challenge. Please limit the amount of challenges to 10 (including ours)  You must link back to us in your blog post.
I used the following supplies:
 Western Words Trio 3013

I am so in love with this design today .Isn't this stamped horse a beauty?Our very own Jacqueline Hill from our design team designed this beauty.

I used a khaki piece of card stock and stamped the image twice.I embossed the bottom layer and fussy cut the top layer. I colored with Copics and pop dotted the layers

The bottom layer was embossed with stars and matted with a black patterned designer paper.All of these papers are from 7 Gypsies.

I used a piece of natural twine and it looked great, I went to make dinner and came back to take a picture, and my cat had taken off with the card.The twine looks like a nest now...lol

Thanks for stopping in hope you play along with us this week.

  9. I got such a chuckle reading about your cat taking off with your card and turning the twine into a nest, although I'm sure you didn't think it was too funny at the time. In any event, your card looks terrific! The horse image is awesome.
