Pony and Art

Hello.  Welcome.  I needed a quick card just to say thank you.  There's actually probably a big demand for these at this time of year.  Or don't people send thank you cards now??  Just a quick email, or tweet, or some other electrronic expression of gratitude.  Call me old fashioned, I am a committed snail mail fan.  

I artistically painted my background to create the appearance of the suns rays.  You think??  OK, I admit it.  It's a piece of packing that got a little bit ripped when I removed the sticky stuff and I painted with yellow acrylic.  It seemed perfect as a sunset scene for my die cut Cheery Lynn Fence Rider.  The thanks was stamped using Rubber Dance Alphabet Uno stamps.  I was going to leave the edge of the panel clean, but it wasn't coming together so I got smudgy with the black archival.  It just softens it all up I think.

I'll leave you with this picture I just snapped of the full moon rising over the mountains, on a frosty Norwegian night.  Probably should have photoshopped the street lamp LOL


Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

    Lovely card! Love how you made the background! I think it's very nice to send (and receive) thank you cards in the mail.
    Thank you for using my alphabet stamp to spell out "thanks"!

    Scraps are just the best backgrounds :) Lovely happy card (yellow is my favourite), I'm sure snail mail is always more appreciated than a tweet!
