I used a base of Heavy Whisper White for this card and then added a matte in Basic Black and then a piece of grey toned patterned paper with a lovely wood grain pattern. I thought the wood looked weather beaten much in the same way that an old fence would or, perhaps, an old barn. Using my circle dies, I cut out one circle in Basic Black and then another in Whisper White. I stamped the horse images on the Whisper White and used watercolours to colour the scene. Then, before adhering the image circle to the card, I went around the perimeter of the circle with my distressing tools and then sponged the edges with a soft grey.
For the additional shape, I decided on a die-cut cowboy hat. With a bit of watercolouring I think it wound up looking nice and worn. After stamping my sentiment, I cut it out using a stitched rectangle die.
I hope you enjoy my card as much as I enjoyed making it. Have fun with our challenge.
