Blacksmith's Get Well

 Had a request for a get well card with a horse for a friend's  blacksmith and decided to go back to an old Stampin Up set called Brushstroke Horses. I discovered that my Mojo must be coming back, because I came up with all sorts of ideas for the set.  Unfortunately, my neglected yard beckens me today so the rest of the ideas will have to wait.  I embossed the horse with an embossing powder called Bavarian Bronze (no clue what brand) and colored him with chalks and copics.  The cloud effect is done with Gray Flannel Memento Ink and Silhouette cut clouds.  The image was then cut with Spellbinder's Labels Twelve and mounted on Glitter Cardstock.  The ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon and the rest just from my stash.  The hat inside the card was also done on my Silhouette out of Chocolate Chip cardstock.

I will be entering this card in the following challenges:
Brown SugarChallenge #38 - Get Well
Sisterhood of Crafters - Animal Antics
V's Sweet Ideas Challenge #10 - Anything Goes

Thanks for looking!

Get Well Angel

 

This is the second angel in the Christian Angels (#448) stamp set at Sparkle N Sprinkle.  The sentiment is from Sparkle N Sprinkle's Just For You set (#444).  The angel was embossed with Gold Coast embossing powder (also SNS) on watercolor paper and colored with H2O twinkling watercolor paints.   The cardstock is Bazzill.  Complete instructions can be found on the Sparkle N Sprinkle website here.  This angel could be used for so many occasions and is just as cute as the Christmas angel.  I can't wait to use the third one, the bride, for a shower card - maybe after the holiday rush.  Thanks for looking!
