This is NOT the card I started with this morning! The HYCCT challenges have made me realize how limited I am in my stamps. Even though I have many, there is not a diversity in the kind. So, I am going shopping soon! I started with a totally different image that did not work out for me at all, and this is what I finally settled on. Thanks for the challenge!

This is not a 'settled on' kind of card! It turned out great! I love that horse stamp and I love it stamped in black on white. The background paper is awesome for a masculine card and the sponging is a perfect touch!

I like that image! And I like how you sponged the sentiment and left the white around it, so pretty. And I am lovin that DP too and how well that twine goes with it!
Sounds like you have talked yourself into going shopping! Enabler to yourself! LOL

Love it! And I'm glad we could enable you to shop. Ha! Love the motion in the horse image, and your DP is so rugged and outdoorsy. Thank you so much for playing along with my challenge and for supporting Hope You Can Cling To!!
Beautiful card! Love the design and the BG. I know what you mean about having many stamps but not the diversity. I notice that a lot about my stamps when I play challenges like HYCCt or DTGD. Your card sure is beautiful though so a different stamp was not needed!
