I made this card for Polly's Mix challenge "Watercolor Whimsy". Good challenge because it made me use lots of things I've been wanting to try. It also works for F4A478, Shirley's "Horsing Around" because I was horsing around with my new supplies!
I cut a stencil from a die, taped it on my wc paper and brushed on 5 different Pearl Colors water colors. After wc paper was dry I stamped my horses, the sun and the border. I watercolored sun with Pearls Arabic Gold wc paint.
I used the same stencil on black Stardream layer, but this time I used Golden Flamingo Opal Polish and sponged over stencil. Glued layers onto tan card. I twisted and knotted tan and black Scrappers Floss and glued onto side and bottom of card.
Thanks Polly for inspiring me to use some of my supplies and do something out of my comfort zone!

WOW impressive..you made your own stencil (that deserves extra points) and you used it on two different panels and they look great, so sparkly! Wonderful design Gracie...and I love how you tied your floss and used it.

That stencil has so much Native American feel to it! Well done!

You did a beautiful job stenciling your card with the pearl water colors. You were horsing around with new supplies and you also have horses on your card. This is a great fit for the challenge.

Your card is great and I love the sun. Great work with the stencil and the floss was perfect for this card.
