I made this for my 6 year old grandson, who was thrown from his horse during a riding lesson after holding on to the bucking beast for 8 seconds! He just got the wind knocked out of him, thankfully, but now he says he's a champion bronc rider!
The blue ribbon was made from silk flowers, punches, and a gold star brad.
(I got the Scrapper's Floss as a free gift in my last order from ktcrafts! I love free stuff!)

Oh, my gosh! He's going to love this! Your coloring is absolutely gorgeous and the blue ribbon is very clever. I've had a few horseback riding mishaps myself, but I didn't fare as well as your grandson in some of them!

This is an incredibly beautiful card! Thankfully these are keepers because he won't appreciate the detail and care until he's older! The whole thing is stunning, with the paper, the coloring, the composition, and on and on...wow. Into my Favorites just to admire!
