Silhouette Horses

Hello Nomad friends.  We have had some wild weather today which has laid the garden flat, picked the fruit and berries and left everything decidedly drowned.  Crafting seemed the thing to do.  I usually check challenges when they are published and sometimes I have ideas!!  And then the month whizzes by and my ideas are still just in my head, or more likely floated away to a remote tropical beach.  Anyway, the Memory Box Challenge of Animal is right up my alley, and I had an idea, which didn't pan out, but I made a card anyway using the horse part of the original idea.

Oooh look, horsies!!  I used the horse from Memory Box Horse and Sleigh die set and cut it four times from four different colour scraps.  I found a thin strip of green shaded paper and cut it with Memory Box Gentle Stitched Landscape dies and edged the two pieces with green ink.  I used a slimline textured card base and smudged the top part with salty ocean distress ink.  I think the rose circle is also an old Memory Box die which I've lost the name of, cut from yellow scraps.  The Happy Birthday chippy sentiment is Memory Box as well. 

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

  4. We're a horsey family as you know so this is right up my street and what a great idea using just the horses from the die set. Perfect for our Allsorts Animals theme, many thanks for joining us.
