Penny black challenge #71

b'day card (6)

b'day card (6) close up

I was asked to make a horse themed card by my auntie and so I used my new PB image called ‘minding shelty’ (from tabby crafts).  The sketch for this week’s penny black challenge was gorgeous so I decided to use that as my starting point (although I did rotate the sketch).  I coloured the image with my promarkers, using the coloured image on the stamp to help me with shading.  I achieved the ‘dappled effect’ on the horse by dotting the blender pen over the colour.  The gorgeous papers are SU called ‘junior varsity’ (wish I’d ordered more from Jules) and the buttons are doodlebug.  The green panel was run through the CB with the swiss dots embossing folder and the sentiment was created on the pc.  A fairly simple card but I think it’s perfect for a man.  Thanks for stopping by.
