 | | The cover of this book is a field of Cranberry Red with a small gold square in the center that is embossed with a horse & rider. However, My inspiration came more from the fact that when my daughter bought it for me, the author was doing a signing at the store. He added the inscription "Enjoy the Ride!" - I actually have a stamp with that saying but it is teeny tiny and I felt it would get lost on my card so I fashioned my own. First I Stamped the Word Enjoy and fussy cut making the exclamation point a separate entity. Then because I am NOT a calligrapher - I wrote a page FULL of "the ride" with an Arteza brush marker then picked the 2 words that seemed to blend best with the stamped word and fussy cut them, too. For me the hardest part is finally DONE.
I used chalks applied with cotton balls to put in a softly hued dawn sky on my card base - die cut my riders and a single tree which I cut down the center and adhered. |
