Let it Ride - The Paper Players #448

I thought today I would make a card featuring one of the stamp sets retiring on June 2 when the new Annual Catalogue goes live.  The stamp set I chose today is "Let it Ride" and I am submitting the card to the challenge at The Paper Players #448

)

I placed the sketch on its side for my card.

The horses were stamped with Black Memento ink and then coloured with Stampin' Blends. For the trees I used Stampin' Markers (Call Me Clover and Early Espresso) directly onto  the stamps prior to stamping.

For the clouds I went to another favourite stampe set of mine:  "My Meadow".  Both the large and small cloud stamps were used with Balmy Blue to create some definition in the sky.

When completed, the edges of the image piece were sponged with Soft Suede ink,  The image was  then matted with Soft Suede card stock and added to the card front with dimensionals.

The card front is Soft Suede card stock layered with a diagonal striped retired Soft Suede DSP.  The edges of this was sponged as well.

The Timeless Label punch was used to punch out the sentiment.  This was trimmed to accommodate the location on the card.  Two pieces of this punch were adhered together to make a mat for the sentiment, which was then added to the card front using dimensionals.
