Hi, everyone! This week's Technique Lover's Challenge is to piece together your sentiment....I used one die and fussy cut the other word. For my card, I used the new Saddle Up set from Our Daily Bread designs, along with the new ODBD Custom Double Stitched Circles Dies, ODBD Custom Matting Circles Dies, and the ODBD Custom Happy Birthday Dies set. The background is real denim from a pair of jeans which has been in my fabric stash for many years. When I saw the Saddle Up set, I knew I wanted to create a "dapple gray" look for the horses. The image was stamped onto the die cut circle (cut with the ODBD Custom Matting Circles Dies and matted with the ODBD Custom Double Stitched Circles Dies), plus again on scrap cardstock so that I could fussy cut them and pop them up with foam tape. The white sections of the horses were highlighted with a clear glaze pen, then once dry, the gray was sponged on the bodies and the manes and tails were colored with a marker. The glaze pen acted as a resist. To create the dapple look, I dotted a white gel pen lightly plus added slight water marks all over with a paintbrush. The 'Happy' was cut from the ODBD Custom Happy Birthday Dies set and the 'birthday' was cut by hand from the Happy Birthday sentiment in the Saddle Up set. Thanks so much for looking! Have a very blessed day!

These horses are wonderful, Angella, and your sentiment in two fonts is wonderful too!
