Mr. Ed and friends - SUO Challenge #217

It was really difficult to narrow down a favourite stamp/item from the Occasions and /or SAB catalogues for the SUO Challenge #217 here , and I finally narrowed it down to the horse stamp "Let's Ride".

As I mentioned in my previous post here seeing the horses on this set takes me back to a time when my daughter was young and 'horse crazy'.

For this card, I incorporated the "Sliding Barn Door" framelit and coordinating stamp set with the "Let's Ride" set.

Three horse heads stamped using the Stamparatus were coloured with watercolour pencils and a blender pen as well as Stampin' Blends. Each was fussy cut and the edges sponged.

A window was die cut  in a 4 by 5 1/4" piece of Crumb Cake using the Rectangle Stitched framelit and the horses were placed as above like they were looking out the window. Mr. Ed is the one at the lower front.


Using the Sliding Door Framelits, the door was die cut in Early Espresso and embossed with the Barn Door Embossing Folder.  The sliding mechanism and hardware were die cut in basic Black card stock and attached to the Crumb Cake layer over the die cut window on the left side of the card.  The door looks like it should move but it doesn't.

The 'hello' sign, stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink using the "Barn Door" stamp. was added to the door front.

On the right of the window is attached a piece of Woodgrain DSP

This Crumb Cake layer was adhered to another piece of Crumb Cake card stock using the foam adhesive strips which in turn was added to an Early Espresso card base.
