Sshhh... It's a Secret


Well it's sort of a secret ~ about today's card.  

You see I was asked to design today's card for someone's Secret Sister.  Her and her husband celebrated 40 years of marriage last week.  Yep, they deserve a special card, don't they!

This couple love their horses dearly, so my instructions were  ~ A horse card, with one or more horses...and oh, can you make them look like their horses?  Simple right? 

Well if I was an artist it would have been simple, but I'm not.  But I was able to see them on their horses on Facebook- Appaloosa's and very beautiful.

After several attempts of finding the right image, I finally settled on this one.   



I used my Copic markers for coloring and blending.  I added a solid black mat and mounted the colored image on a grey piece of barn board.  I added a pair of silver boot charms on the black twine bow.

Happy 40th Anniversary to Ralph and Kathy!

Thank you for stopping by today.  I enjoy sharing my work with you and invite you to “Follow” my blog and to visit my site ~ “Not JustScraps” on Facebook ~ where you can purchase my cards and other crafting items.

I’ll be entering this card in the following challenges:
