Our Teapot Tuesday challenge is to make a card with horses, flowers or anything cheery for a young lady who is in the hospital. You can read about her here: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
I thought I would combine flowers and a horse and came up with this image. The flowers are SU Long Stemmed (a set that is retired), the horses are from inkadinkado, the checkered paper is CM, the label is from SB and even though it's hard to see, the brown back ground is embossed with Tim Holtz's Woodgrain folder. Then I used a round paper clip a friend gave me to hold some raffia on. I colored the images with Copics. Hope Jessica likes her card. I tried to make the main image as close to her horse, Max, as possible.

Awesome card, love the running horses and the horse image holding the flowers. This will bring a smile to Jessica's face. Looks like Max is bringing her flowers.

You did a PERFECT job with Max. This card is to ultra cool! Love the running horses on the bottom. A few years ago on a trip, I got to see a herd of wild horses running free and it was such a beautiful site. I will never forget it and this card brings back those memories. Thank you so much for making this for my niece, Jessica. The family sends big hugs.
hugs,

Cherie! So I was so late to great you! Coupla horses were fighting over a particularly wonderfully colored two toned posie in the garden and well, we had to make them flip a coin for it! But I am here now and I can honestly say, this is about the most perfect image for this challenge! When I say, go to the bed, pick a flower with your head.....you say....no problemo! What a wonderful card! I can so see Max in this image. I love it.......Jessica will be so touched to receive this! Thanks for becoming such a great regular to the teaparties! I love that!

Wow - fantastic colouring on your horses. I see you managed Max and the teapot herd too. I always love vertical sentiments - this one looks great on the gold-embossed tag.
