Hi Friends!
Woohoo! We are celebrating our 7th Anniversary at SU-Only Challenges with a fun “Blast from the Past” Challenge! Our Design Team had such a great time coming up with ideas for this challenge and there is even a chance at some blog candy- we hope you will play along with us!
I wanted to pull out a few retired stamp sets and chose Equestrian Dream and Tiny
Tags. I decided to pair them with retired Outlaw background paper, Lucky Stars Textured Impressions Embossing Folder™ and Styled Vanilla
Hodgepodge Hardware.
Since I have been a demonstrator since 1999, I have kept all of my retired sets (trust me, I have many favorites) but also wanted to participate with the Match The Sketch #191 Sketch Challenge as well as the Sunny Day Crafting “H is for Horses” Challenge.

If you have not had a chance to stop by the SU-Only Challengesite to check out the rest of the Design Team projects or the other challenge
sites yet, I encourage you to do so- fabulous inspiration from all!
To create this card:
1). Ink the retired Equestrian Dream image (circa 2001) with Stampin’ Archival™
Basic Black Ink, stamp onto Very Vanilla cardstock, apply Stampin’ Emboss® Clear Embossing Powder and
heat set with the Heat Tool.
2). Die cut the image with the Stitched Shapes Framelits™,
layer onto Early Espresso cardstock, trim close to the edge (I split the image
behind the banner sentiment).
3). Use an AquaPainter™ with Soft Suede, Early Espresso and
retired Baked Brown Sugar Classic Ink to color the horse images. Sponge a bit of Baked Brown Sugar Classic Ink
over the edges.
4). Emboss a piece of
Very Vanilla cardstock using the retired Lucky Stars Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder, trim and mount onto a piece of Early Espresso cardstock, Use a Sponge Dauber to apply Baked Brown Sugar
and Early Espresso Classic Ink over the edges and stars, mount onto the Extra
Thick Whisper White card base.
5). Trim a piece of Outlaw Designer Paper, mount onto a piece
of Early Espresso cardstock, trim close to the edge.
6). Stamp the sentiment from Tiny Tags with Stampin’ Archival™
Basic Black Ink, stamp onto Very Vanilla cardstock, apply Stampin’ Emboss® Clear Embossing Powder and
heat set with the Heat Tool. Add a bit of Backed Brown Sugar Classic Ink
(diluted), punch out with the retired Ovals Punch (trimming to fit if
necessary), layer within the Styled Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware label, add to
the banner with two brads.
7). Add the horse image to the card front with Stampin’
Dimensionals® and add the banner to hide the cut edge in the center. Create
the photo frame corners using a 1” Square Punch and hand trim to create the “corners”.
8). Trim a piece of Outlaw DSP for the lower edge of the
sketch, adhere to the front of the card.
9). Add a bit of distressing with the small splatter stamp
from Timeless Textures with Early Espresso cardstock. Add a few Pearls to the corner to finish off
the card.

Love your card wish I had this stamp set I love horses. I've been a demo for 2 years and keep all my retired stamps because I only buy what I like
Beautiful!
Wow, amazing card! I love all the little details.
The horses are wonderful and I love the neutral color scheme. I can only image your collection of stamp sets. I've been a demonstrator since 2012 and have a hard time finding room. :)
Gorgeous coloring and details on your card. Thanks for sharing how you made it, too.
