I used a newly released image from Sweet Stamps- I just love this gorgeous horse- it is stamped in Brownie Shades ink spot, and I colored it in with Copics. I decided to make 1/2 rosettes for the top of the card using 3/4" strips of the Wellington DP and Coordinations cardstock. I used a lighter brown Coordinations cardstock for the banner dies, and embossed them with the wood grain embossing plate, then highlighted the raised embossing with Brownie ink.
Here are the Sweet Stamps supplies I used:
