The Inky Friends have a sketch challenge today based on the card on page 48 of the Occasions catalog (which is ending in just a few days)! It's a simple sketch, and lends itself to a wide variety of design possibilities.
I hadn't had a chance to ink up Let It Ride which, coincidentally, was used on the card in the catalog. I thought now would be a great time!
Since I don't have the Pocket die, and don't plan to get it, the new Stitched Nested Labels made a perfectly acceptable substitute! They even include a straight piece that I used to finish the top of the "pocket." They will be available starting June 4th.
I had to make a mask from a sticky note so the trees would be behind the horses, not on top. Helpful hint: Stamp your image on the cardstock and then again immediately on the sticky note. Cut just inside the black outline, as seen below. This helps the over-stamped image get right up to the edge of the first image without leaving a gap in between.
The horse images were stamped with Memento and colored with Stampin' Blends, but the trees were colored marker-to-stamp using Early Espresso and Shaded Spruce Stampin' Write Markers. I left the mask in place while I sponged some Daffodil Delight to brighten the horizon.
