Love this set! I'm finally getting to play with it. It's also my first time using the beautiful Holiday Harmony designer paper and Purely Pomegranate stitched ribbon.
This image looks great colored, but it also lends itself very well to the monochromatic treatment. Unfortunately, what this photo doesn't show is the subtle sparkle from the Stardust transparent embossing powder. I used it over Purely Pomegranate ink, which I pre-stamped with Versamark. Then all I did was a little watercoloring with my aqua painter and Purely Pomegranate ink from the lid of my inkpad. I added some DD glitter on the pine trees and rooftop with the quickie glue pen, which you can see a little. For more dimension I sponged the edge of the image first with Rose Red and then with the darker Purely Pomegrante.
I really tried to keep this more simple and flat for mass producing and easy mailing, but I couldn't resist popping up the focal image on dimensionals.
This card measures 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 inches. My hubby loves this card because it's sparkly and there's a horse in it!

WOW! Linda, this is just gorgeous and does not at all look like a mass production product. It looks like you spent hours on it and with all of the perfect finishing touches.

Still looking for the pony.

Gorgeous, Linda! The sparkle makes it absolutely fantastic! That little bit of dimension won't hurt one bit for mailing this card. How nice that the size of the stamp worked so well with the big punch. This paper is beautiful!
