Yay! I could have done a fist-pump when I saw Fridays' Free For All Challenge, "Love Your Stamps," as I have more stamp sets than I'd like to admit that I haven't used yet. I am 99.9% certain this particular stamp set has only seen ink when I put it in my stamp log, which in my opinion doesn't count as a use since I didn't actually make anything, just simply organized it.
I needed a 30 minute birthday card for a coworker and fellow horse person for this week, so this is what I came up with. The sequins are actually a green that coordinates with the ink, though you wouldn't know it by the picture. I must admit, I am not very happy with it. It lacks anything that makes it look like one of my cards, as well as lacks much for eye appeal. To be honest, the swatch I had of this ink was done on a different white cardstock, and it was much more muted and more the look I was going for... however, that was cheapo cardstock, and on my "good" white CS, the neon popped (and nearly popped my eyeballs! LOL). Unfortunately, I was out of time and couldn't re-do it. :(
Thanks for looking and taking the time to listen to my whining! hehe
A great challenge, though, Wendy - so thank you for the inspiration!

Honestly what horse lover wouldn't love this card?! I think the green is very appealing and your sequins take the eye down to the sentiment nicely. Poor sentiment might get ignored because I love looking at your swatch of colour and horse too much! :-)

I think this card is awesome for a horse lover and your brayered background look wonderful. I love that image. I do hate when my sequins take on a different color when photographed but I know yours are green.
