Come join us for the Teapot Challenge this week. We are sending our cards to Mutnik's daughter Jessica.
I am not horsing around here. No horse images in my stash. I was fretting over this to the point of having night mare's. As long as no one stirrups any trouble, I am just going to roan with it. Wouldn't want to rein in the fun. This may be a long shot, but I think the girls will bale me out and say my card does not have to be an exacta image of a horse. Maybe I am feeling my oats here, and these challenges are making me not really stable. But I am taking a chance and going out on a fence. So I decided to grab the reins and run with this. (You get it??? Fun play on works....lol)

This will definitely give Jessica a chuckle or two. She'll probably think it is a black and white horse with funny stripes. hehe I love your zebra, love you zebra flowers and feathers and wonderful extras. You really were on a roll with the "play on words" thing. Love your write up, love your card. Thanks so much for making this for my Jessica. TFS :0)

No no no Carol, you got the adage all wrong. It goes, you can't change the stripes on a tiger - it doesn't apply to horses. Great card, you really know how to dress them up into masterpieces.
