Since her card was a sketch challenge card, I did not follow her sketch, but kept her twine (not part of the sketch) and did add a flourish like she had (but not in the sketch way she did). I also added in a circle so I could use a little used part of this wonderful old set.
I tried coloring the image but didn't like it so I started over and did an Ink, Spray, Smash background instead. I think it worked much better.
Congrats for being the Featured Stamper, Liz, your gallery is full of jewels and I was inspired looking through it.
This is also for this week's Teaparty Challenge. I know we were supposed to have free running horses but this is my fave horse stamp. He runs around looking free when he is not saddled up.
This will be going off to Sandy and Dave who are artists currently home based and feeling a bit tied down.

Your background creates such an awesome atmosphere for your wonderful image! Love the monochromatic palette - perfect for the sketchy style of the image! Gorgeous card!

I am having a lot of fun looking around in your gallery – – just wanted to let you know I love this card, I have this set, and who knows… It may sprout a twin here in Maryland. Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful! Lots of lines on these images, so I could see where it might not look all that great being colored in. Wonderful Southwestern scene, Nancy, with a sweet bg to "boot"!
