I can't believe it's time for another CCEE challenge already. Is the weekend really over? *sigh*
Well, this week we were challenged by Dawn Lusk to create a card with this A Lil' Behind set by H&M Stamps. This set is a lot of fun.
Dawn added another element to this challenge though, and that was to add some type of chipboard. Mine is the sentiment.
Now, I realize I'm not Michelle Zindorf. Far from it. This is my first time trying to make a scene using her brayer technique...well other than the time she was featured on SCS, but I did something completely different than this at that time. My moon/sun is too bright for the bg, but I didn't want to mess it up anymore, so, this is it.

This is a beautiful scene! Great coloring and brayer work! I really like the tail of the horse sticking out of the frame1 Love the hemp and tags at the top!

A stunningly beautiful and humorous scene! You did a great job with the brayered bg and creating this scene, and I love his tail out of the box! Gorgeous coloring of the horsie, too. I was wondering if you, the Queen of Gorgeous cards, would be able to pull off a humorous card and you did! LOL!

I am so glad you know who you are Tosh! I told the others that you knew that all along.....that we didn't have to have that special CCEE meeting to plan to delicately remind you that you are Stamps4funinca! Yikes, those guys are paranoid! Now I can make different plans for Friday since our CCEE meeting has been canceled!
The biggest compliment that I could give you for this card is that it looks exactly like a Zindorf card and believe me that is huge! Okay, the image is goofy...how do you make a goofy image look so amazingly like a painted portrait! It is truly awesome...
Wowie Tosha! This card is absolutely fabuloso! Your details and technique are amazing and LOVE how everything pops right off the card! Super super fabulous and wonderful use of images!

You have to paint pictures too..to create something as brillant as this is. That sky and sun is absolutely awesome. Every thing on this looks like your right there. I swear to GOD you could reach right out and touch the horse, and also pull his tail And the job u did making the fence..beautiful!!!
