My friend requested this card, with very short notice, for her and the kids' favorite teacher of all their school years, who is retiring. She wanted a bit of western theme as this teacher often did western activities. 'Happy Trails' was a favorite saying of hers, so it seemed appropriate to use it for her retirement card. Not having anything really western, this is the best I coud do. But it is such a lovely horse image from Serindipity. Colored with Prismas. Paper is Basic Grey. Twine, pearls and a horseshoe brad for embellies. TFL. : )

I own this lovely Mustang. The best horse image out there. I love how you used it for a retirement card! The twine and horseshoe charm are the perfect touch.
