What lovely buttons on today's board! I was inspired by THIS & I knew exactly which image to use. I love these horses & I decided to color them to resemble Indian Paints.
I also did a somewhat tricky technique I'm calling Double Die Cutting. I did an 8 pic tutorial to show how I did it because the inner image circle is still part of the white frame.
To finish, I stamped the mill scene onto textured chocolate using the sepia ink twice then added the highlights w/ a white Prismacolor pencil. The leftover outer stitched circle frame was colored w/ a Copic & put back around the image. A punched fence was attached behind the image & the oval stitched greeting added on top.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups, the tutorial, Copic colors & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff

I didn't even notice that horse button! This is just lovely. The coloring, the "chalk" background, the use of the stitched dies. Beautiful!
