Today I am posting a card I made for the Papertrey Ink Make-It-Monday challenge. If you would like to play along, you can find the tutorial and information here.
I knew I wanted to use the seed packet die for the chipboard part of the challenge. The cutout reminded me of a horseshoe, so with my horse-crazed DD in mind, I just had to design a horse-themed card. I spritzed the coaster die cut with Glimmer Mist after stamping the designs to give it a shimmery rustic feel. I had originally planned to emboss it with the woodgrain impression plate, but thought that would be better used on the paper below. I recalled the beautiful paper from MME that Betsy Veldman had used on a couple of her PTI Anninversary projects and decided to try and make some similar to it. I stamped the various flowers and woodgrain background onto kraft card stock, then embossed the entire piece with the woodgrain impression plate. I just LOVE how it turned out and will definitely be making some more of this! I stamped the horse onto Fine Linen card stock and sponged the background with Berry Sorbet and Summer Sunrise inks. I colored the horse (outside of the mane) with Copic markers and painted the mane with some Coffee Shop Glimmer Mist to add a little extra shimmer. The coaster die cut is popped up to add some dimension. I wrapped some rustic twine around the card design and adhered it to the card base. Lastly, I added the flowers to give the card the congratulatory feeling of having a champion horse.
