This card is for two of the challenges this week. First, Lisa asked us to use an oldie but goodie stamp. This is one of my all time favorite stamp from way back. Love those detailed stamps. Wendy asked us to be inspired by the 70's. Immediately thought of the color choices for home furnishings at this time. It was either olive green, gold, orange or brown. My kitchen was all olive green, even the cupboards along with the appliances. One tires of this after awhile, but back then the appliances were made to last 15 to 20 years. Needless to say all appliances have been white since those days. Colored the image with watercolor pencils after stamping it with the walnut stain ink. Using an olive green pencil made the background, added some white highlights. The frame was from my scrapbooking days. TFL

This is jaw dropping incredible Linda. Your watercolouring is sensational and the layout is beyond perfect! I loved your story too...I wish I had chosen olive green - I lived with burnt orange for a gazillion years LOL.

Obviously I am not the only one that loves this card. I remember this color scheme for houses, but between you and me, it looks so much better as a .card. Beautiful coloring on the horse and the frame is lovely.
