Today’s card was designed using the Stampin’ Up! Let It Ride Stamp Set. This stamp set is a beauty!!
I grew up showing horses and some of my fond memories are horse shows and 4H. I love the sentiments in this set too. We all need to remember to “Live as if someone left the gate open.”
You’ll notice this horse was shaded too. I love, love coloring with our Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers. I’ve shared a written tutorial below. Feel free to download this FREE Tutorial.
Thanks for stopping by Brandy’s Cards. Let me know if you have any questions. I’m always glad to help.
Happy Stamping!! Brandy

1. Cut a 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ piece of Whisper White Cardstock and fold it in half. This is your card base.

Tip: To create a variation in light and dark color you want to stamp it once and continue to stamp the tree line without inking the stamp. This will create a variation in color.
