This is for the Teapot Tuesday challenge. This will be going to Mutnik's daughter who had a nasty accident on her horse. We were to have a horse and flowers.
I used two sets from SU, Wanted and Fabulous Florets. I stamped the horses on Vanilla using Lilac ink. Then I used a border punch (sorry I can't think of the name of it) on Concord and mounted my horses on top of this. I used the Fabulous Florets and Concord ink and stamped some flowers on the bottom of the card. I used some purple gingham ribbon and put a boot charm on it with white twine. I stamped the inside with one horse. I always put paper on the inside of my cards. I think the look is more finished. I also stamped the same horse on the bottom left of the envelope and on the back flap of the envie. It's a simple card but I am pleased at how it turned out. We are praying for this young lady.
