For today's WT challenge, Sabrina asked us to make a card with a horse or horses. I thought what a great time to make a more masculine card. I used the colors from the Spice Cake paper to make my background. Hopefully it looks like they are kicking up the dust as they gallop away.
The card seemed kinda plain, so I added the eyelets and cording. Still needed just a little something, so the lantern charm was the finishing touch. Hmm, now it might be a little too busy! LOL

Fabulous, Kathleen! I love the lacing and the wonderful DP you chose! Great job on the effect of the dust too. You must have the most beautiful selection of designer papers!
Love your soft colors too!

Your card is gorgeous Kathleen!! I love how you have the two panels with the same colors. Very attractive how one seems to be free flowing and the other is more of a pattern. I think you eyelets and cording look awesome!! Very beautiful!!

Kicking up some dust INDEED, Kathleen! LOVE how you stitched the side of the paper, and added that sweet charm!
That rectangle die is a great place for these horses to be galloping away on - looks great on the Spice Cake DP!!
Awesome western card!!!!
