Horsing around...

Good afternoon, Bloggers, I hope you're having a good weekend and a happy Sunday! We've had snow flurries all weekend - whatever happened to Spring coming?!  I have 2 cards to share today, the first is one of the cards that we made at the workshop yesterday...

 ...I love the fresh orange of the backing paper which is from First Edition Boho Chic and that gorgeous chocolate satin ribbon...

...a nice sentiment, mulberry flowers and pretty polka dot buttons finished it off.
The second card is one I have made to enter into I Love Promarkers Challenge this week, which is Four Legged Friends...

...There was no question as to which image I would use - I just love my Laughing Horse (which you can purchase from my eshop)  He colours up a dream and I had to use my favourite brown combo, too...

Promarker colours used are:

Main face and body : Walnut, Cocoa, Caramel, Sandstone, Light Fawn FM

Mane, inner mouth, nostrils : Walnut, Umber, Black FM

Tongue : Dusky Rose, Antique Pink, Amaranth Red FM

Horseshoe : Ivory, Vanilla, Mustard, Gold, Sandtone

Ears : Coral, Blush, Satin

...The card base is one of my faves, too - a sideways easel.  I decorated the inside with the line image and coordinating paper...

...The card shape allows the card to be displayed with both the front and inside of the card showing, like a picture frame (better when you've gone to the trouble of decorating the inside too!)  I followed the My Favourite Things sketch for the layout, which the lovely Tara at Inking on the Edge interprets so well - I often visit her blog when in need of inspiration.

I'd like to enter my Laughing Horse card into the following challenges :
