This week's Destination Station is California. We are sending cards to Jessica, daughter and niece of two fellow teapotters. Jessica had a bad accident while on her horse and we are hoping to cheer her up with a lot of horsey luv! For details, please see here, post #231 Teapot Tuesday Destination Station - OLD INFO by Mothermark at Splitcoaststampers
This is the first card I have made with horses as the theme. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, but a flower arranger I am not! I see so many beautiful cards with gorgeous arrangements of flowers . . . I'll have to focus on my talents which are not flowers or ribbon :-))
I'm thinking this is Max's future partner and step-baby! Stamped image and coloured with prismacolour pencils and added OMS to blend. Cut it out with SB die and distressed edges. Printed sentiment and cut out with circle punch. Distressed edges on this too.
Main card is kraft then I added a layer of black, then cut 2 strips of paper that I've been dieing to use. This is real wood (thin cheery to be exact) and when you feel it, it actually feels like wood! My layering idea was inspired by this card CL_ A Mustang for the Farm by carol_PA925 at Splitcoaststampers. Layered the main image on top with pop dots then added my flowers with brads and then added sentiment, partially on pop dots to work with my main image. tfl

This is a sweet card. Nothing sweeter than a foal. Your flowers are pretty. You're too hard on yourself. You colored the horses beautifully. This is sure to be loved. Great card.

WOW! You had me at real cherry wood. This is fabulous! Way cool image. I love that little foal. Reminds me of way back when my sister and I leased a horse that had a foal too. So everywhere we rode, the foal followed. What fun. Love your flower, love this card. Thank you for thinking of my DD and making such a fabulous card for her. Love it. TFS :0)
