I love how the brushstroke design of this horse from the Let It Ride gives it such a sense of movement. I've been looking for a card sketch to use with this one I'd colored earlier this week.
A Freshly Made Sketch did the trick.
I moved the horizontal panel down just a bit because it seemed more balanced with the image I was using. Here is the original Freshly Made Sketches challenge:
- With the loose brushstroke style of this image I chose to use more of a quick stroke with my Blends, starting first with the light Petal Pink blends and working towards the dark Cajun Craze.
- The horse's mane was also done with strokes of Bronze and Smoky Slate.
- The trees are stamped on the Crumb Cake card in Crumb Cake to add a little interest to the card base.
- I switched from a wood grain vertical panel to a Cajun Craze panel that matched the mat panel under my image and then used a Butterfly Element leaflet (Sale-A-Bration item) to add texture instead.
