Horse Birthday Card

Good morning everyone. I can't believe it's nearly March already. It's doesn't seem long since I was trying to get my Christmas cards made!

Anyway, most of my family's birthdays are in this part of the year and today I'm going to share the card I made for my sister-in-law.


She lives on the Norfolk coast and loves her horses so I had to buy this stamp to make her card.

I started off by doing the sea. As I wanted it to come in at an angle I used a brush rather than my brayer, building up the colour until I was happy with it. Then did the same in the bottom corner for the sand. I kept the sky light to separate it from the sea.

The stamping is done in Archival Ink; Coffee for the plants and Jet Black for the horse.


The land is created by sponging through a torn paper mask, a trick I saw Deby from Inkylicious do at one of the Harrogate shows.

To finish it off I added a reflection of the land with Spectrum Noir pencils and Distress Ink around the edge.

The stamps I used are all available at Claritystamp.

I hope you all have a good weekend. Don't forget that Barbara is on Create and Craft TV this Sunday (1st March) at 9am. I'll be back then to share my samples from the show.

      Thanks Amanda. I couldn't find it on the website earlier (that's why I didn't link it) but this is the code for it from the catalogue - AH11-F. x
