The Limited Supply challenge on Splitcoaststampers today was to use leftovers and scraps. I pulled out small pieces of designer paper, a chipboard void for my frame, and a wagon wheel, two horse shoes and some twine that I had left over from making a cowboy card a couple of weeks ago. I also keep a scrap box of watercolor paper and I used three pieces big enough to stamp the horse head on. I used Winny, the horse image illustrated for Whipper Snapper by Anna Wight (SweetMissDaisy). I just got Winny along with a few other images of Anna’s for free due to my winning second place and $50 in the Whipper Snapper Winter Contest. You ought to check out their Spring Contest as you never know who will win. Oh, and I stamped the sentiment as well. The sentiment and other western images are from Rubbernecker’s Cowboy images.
I wanted to use Winny and also the chipboard frame. I thought Winny could have a sister, Minnie and a brother, Benny sharing the stalls with her. I stamped the horses, watercolored them with Adirondack inks and cut them out. I used chocolate chip and caramel craft ink to coat the chipboard frame and heat dried it. The horse shoes were originally stamped in brown but I sponged them with versa to emboss them with gold embossing powder. I used a copic marker to age the gold embossing as the alcohol ink distressed it. I used brads to hang them on the frame. I attached the horses to the main layer and then attached the frame over them. I attached the rope and wagon wheel for additional embellishment. The sentiment was stamped with chocolate chip craft ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. What a fun card this was and it made me feel good to use mostly items that were left over from other projects.
