July's Creative Crew - Holiday-focus

Photo Details

Poster: hlw966

I wanted to express what my country means to me... wide open spaces. I grew up in the midwest, riding my horse across open farm fields. Big sky and the freedom feeling of just riding across open space is really my definition of America.

I wanted to try a brayer card in sepia. ColorQ challenge #88 started me down this path, so I thought I would stay with those colors. I also drew inspiration from 'Ocicat'.

Wonderful card. Love the shading, the moon, the open spaces that your card conveys. I think you've achieved your goal.

Thanks for sharing.
