Baby Horses


I have struggled all weekend to make a card for the current LIM challenge which is to make a one layer card "with legs". I knew that I wanted to use my new "Horsey" stamp again but could not get the colours or layout right . Finally I tried my"hardly ever used" white craft ink on a Baja Breeze base card and was happy with the "soft" baby look I achieved. Of course the photo makes it look even "softer" than it does in real life but I hope you get the idea. Hmm ....Maybe I should have white embossed them??? Couldn't resist adding a soft sky bow in the corner- what's a baby card without a bow?

Cute card Robyn
I certain;y think embossing would have given a brighter white
But it;s pretty nevertheless

Hello Robyn ..yes I agree embossing in clear or white powder would have given a different look but it is still beautiful .
Good luck with challenge .I have yet to enter so must hurry .

I love the faded elegance of this - like a vintage baby card. I think white embossing would made it look more modern perhaps? It's lovely to see you using the horsey stamp that your husband was so delighted to see you buy! Vx

Very sweet card, Robyn!! Love the horsey image and love baja breeze...one of my favorite blues!! Pictures can be so tough with certain colors and for me, even certain times of the day...but I think it is simply lovely:)!!
