A Part of Your Heart

Although I've been making cards for many years, the card I'm sharing today was a 'first' for me.

I've have a lot of friends who own horses and I've even had beautiful pastures and horses on our property in the past.  But I've never had any of those friends loose their beloved horse.  

After several long weeks of watching Mateo struggle with bone cancer, he passed during the recent eclipse. 

 As I searched around for ideas for this card I ran across this digital image.  It was the perfect silhouette of my friend and her horse. Although normally I would have used an image to complete with my Copic coloring, I felt I couldn't top the feelings shown in this photo. 

After sizing the image and sentiment for my 6" card base, I printed them on my Eco-tank ink jet printer to get a really good quality print.  I secured the image to the base then added the aqua strip and the sentiment at the bottom.  To finish the design I added the black twine at the fold and the heart charm at the bow. 

The card was filled with love and prayers and sent on to our beautiful friend Lilli.
