Today my card is for both Tuesday challenges - The Teapot Challenge is to use a horse and try to slip in a flower - and Vicki's colors for us this week are chocolate brown, Vanilla and Olive Green.
I die cut some green grass and punched a brown fence for my little farm yard. The card itself is vanilla.
I dry embossed a square Nestability frame on my card base. I stamped the horse on a smaller panel, sponged it with ink and adhere it inside the frame with foam tape. The fence and grass are adhered with foam tape as well.
This card will be going postal to Jessica (Mutnik's daughter) who had an unfortunate horse riding accident and has some serious fractures. She was riding her beloved Max whom I'm sure is so upset that his owner got hurt - I tried to color my horse the colors of Max.
I rounded the top corners for the color challenge dessert option!

I was wondering if Rubbernecker had a horse image! Wowza...this is a cool one! When searching for a teapot, I found one that had a horse on it with this sorta look. It was so cool......but of course I had to go with the heard because I needed to get Ed outa the shed! Ha!
This card rocks Julia..I love the row of fencing, then the grass...you know how horses are...the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence! Jessica will be so tickled with this horsey card! Love it!
