This is for the Ways to Use It challenge to be inspired by a Christmas song. While straightening up my stamping area, I saw this rocking horse set and I immediately thought of the song "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree". Fun challenge. So, I gave it a whirl. My aqua painting pen would not cooperate today. At first, it wouldn't give me hardly any water on the bristles. Then, just as I was painting the tail of the rocking horse - swoosh - all this water come out, just in time to smear the brown ink all over the place. I didn't think I was squeezing it, but maybe I was. Anyway, I just about pitched the whole thing because I usually like my painting to be more precise. Then I decided to try a different style instead. So, I smeared some ink in more areas and there you have it. I'm not crazy about it, but it gave me joy because it's a card saved from the trash. Layered some ovals & added the hardware. Also I tied some ribbon around and put brads on the rocking horse's legs. Merry Christmas to you. Hope you have joy. TFL
