I made a background from the Technique Junkies-an oldie- called Bandana. I used Ranger distress inks and a white gel pen for the technique. Next, I layered the background on Kraft cardstock. The image is stamped in Close to Cocoa dye ink then into the Versamark pad, and then clear embossed. I colored over the horse with Copic markers E31, E33, E35, E37. I sponged and pierced the edges. I added a touch of W3 for a shadow below the horse.
I made this for a blogging sister that went to the Kentucky Derby recently.

What a lovely horse image Shelly, I keep coming across Firecracker...
Great card:)
Hey Shelly, I got this beauty in the mail on Sat. I LOVE it! The background is the coolest thing ever. I was just coming over here to thank you and was excited to see it posted. Thank you so very much for thinking of me, I just love it. I'm off to check out the set at Firecracker designs, my brother and his family are major horse lovers and I need some horse stamps. Thank you for creating this for me, you made my day!

I just made a card using this technique and I love the way it turns out, but I didn't use distress inks on mine- I never thought to do that, what a great idea. I love the way your background turned out on your card. TFS!
what a great card.. I need to try that technique out!
I love the "country" feel to this! Such a great card! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Stampin' Sisters in Christ! Blessings to you! :)
Wow, I love your BG paper and it makes your card beautiful when added to the horse "of course". LOL
