A Man and His Horse

Welcome

I am back home and don't have to limit my data usage, so you will see more of me now.  This is one of the cards I made whilst away.

The background was made using Lindy's Magicals,  trying to create a loose 'hills and sky' type of background 


The image (unknown) was stamped in VersaClair Pinecone ink, and coloured with Polychromo pencils, which over the green caused a rather odd colour on the horses rump...


The sentiment was gold embossed before the image panel was mounted over green card and then white, both layers were edged with deep green ink.


The inside was finished with a trimming of the background panel, again edged with the deep green ink.

  13. Nice to have you back.
    Lovely background to this card - I love how you say "trying" to create a loose Hills and sky type of background - you nailed it - it looks ever so good to me and is perfect for that horse. Regardless of his rump colour!
