Seeing the horses took me back to an earlier time when my children were young. My daughter was 'horse crazy'. She would read books about that animal, and draw them and she was absolutely thrilled when I arranged for riding lessons.
Her special horse was brown with a white star on his head and white socks - and so does the horse on my card today.
The horse was coloured with watercolour pencils and a blender pen, with some areas 'touched up' with a Stampin' Blend. It was masked so that the trees could be stamped in the background.
An Oval framelit die cut the completed image, which was layered with a crimpled Crumb Cake oval. The two ovals were off set from each other to give the illusion of movement.
Dimensional were used to adhere this focal image to a 'sliding barn door' background. This background was created by adhering four 3/4 by 5" pieces of the Wood DSP to a piece of Whisper White card stock and this in turn was adhered to a 4 1/4 by 5 1/4" Crumb Cake layer and then to an Early Espresso card base.
Using the Sliding Barn franelits, the hardware for the bard doors was die cut in Basic Black and adhered to the card front as shown. The door doesn't actually move, but it looks like it does.
