Horses at Sunset Wood Card MMSC14, Belli, and Kitchen Sink Challenges

There is a bit of history behind this card, but I will spare you other than to say that I had a very sweet lady request a card from me about a month or so ago that had horses on it. Sadly, I did not have a horse stamp or any images with horses on them. Luckily, I have some really wonderful friends that are willing to share with me and knew my story and wanted to help by sending me several images of horses to use on my cards. It is too late for the little girl's birthday that it was meant for, but I am happy with the way my card turned out nonetheless.

This card was made for the MMSC14 sketch. I am thrilled to share with you that I used wood paper from a good friend and fellow DT member Sue's online store who also happens to be our generous sponsor for the MMSC this week. . If you haven't been over there yet to check out her store, you have to make the trip. It will be worth your while. I never really even thought of using wood or anything close to it on my cards until she introduced this to me, and I promise you that once you try this, you will not know how you ever created without it. It is the absolute perfect supply to have on hand for cards that require a masculine touch, woodsy, outdoorsy, wildlife or honestly any kind of card you have in mind, because I have seen Sue make baby cards for little girls that look sweet and feminine as well as wedding cards. Stop by her blog and have a look at her slideshow to see some of these beauties. I have done a few of them on my slideshow too, but you will see more of a selection on hers. She also has some great digi stamps on her store site along with so many other great products that you will want to bookmark her site for future reference. It's a one-stop shop.

Sue is being very GENEROUS to our Bonus Winner this week as well!! Our MMSC14 Bonus Winner this week will be receiving all the goodies pictured below including the 4 digi’s shown from McMahon Five Designs. As an added Bonus, if the winner is displaying the McMahon Five Designs logo on their blog they will receive 4 more FREE DIGIS of their choice from her store, so be sure to sign up for the Rewards program and while you are there, start making up your wish list :)

I also used my scor-pal tape on this card which is really awesome stuff and so easy to use. You can use it on pretty much anything and it is so strong and durable. I just love this and have started using it on my handmade envelopes as well. Way easier and less messier than using glue and waiting for it to dry. Thank you Diana for giving us the opportunity to try out these wonderful products. You have been a wonderful sponsor to the MMSC and it has been fabulous working with you!

I hope that you enjoy my sample card this week and that it may in some way inspire you to create something wonderful for yourself or someone special in your life.

I am also entering this into the Belli #71 Challenge which is asking to use wood on your card and the Kitchen Sink Crew Challenge that is asking you to do up the corners of your card which for this card I used the pretty gold gems. Check out their fun challenges and join along with them as well as the MMSC.
