My first card was to be for Jessica until I read the e-mail from The Mudder and saw in Mutnik pictures of Jessica's Max, that he was a rust color. I am sure that there is a fancier name for that color of horse, but not being a horse person, I didn't know. I have heard of Sorrel or Chestnut horses - so maybe Max is one of those??????
The card for Jessica uses a retired SU! set named Equestrian Dream. I cut a circle in gold, embossed it and two Spellbinders die cuts to put behind the horse that I watercolored and then glazed. On the MS trellis punch at the bottom I put some leaves from Nestie, MS branch punches and a flower rubber stamp that I watercolored, it has absolutely no identifying mark. I know it is very old... Of course I had to apply stickles, dew drops and a flower on the envelope - VOILA!!
