It's been WEEKS since I made a card! So it really felt good to actually complete a card. When I saw this week's designation Station for Teapot Tuesday, I knew I would have to give it a try. Congratulations, Grandma Pat!
I was trying to give my card a "Wild West" look, but this is about as Wild West as I could get!
The pattern for my card came from Circle of Crafters, I used Ribbon, for my horse, and sponged the background with Tim Holtz Distress Ink.

What a darling card! Your rocking horse with the iris fold is awesome. I love the colors of DP you used for the rocking horse - and the background color is lovely!

I spotted this darling rocking horse earlier, and being yours I had a feeling that when I got time to come back it might be an iris-folded design. It's lovely!

Jill...got somethin' in my eye, oh yeah- tears! I cannot tell you how touched I am to see your iris folding. Only you could make a totally sweet western baby card with this technique! I love that you are creating again, and feel so blessed that you would do this for Jason and Jamie. They will be blown away! That mane! OH MY GOODNESS, are you a genius, or what? I love every inch of this card and cannot thank you enough. Bless your heart sweet friend! Hugs....
