Hello Friends, Hope this weekend is finding you well! It’s Saturday and time for our new challenge over at Just Us Girls! Vicki has a great one for us, she asked us to incorporate sponging onto our card and or project! I had such a fantastic time making this card! I decided to get out one of my neglected Gina K Design stamps to attack this challenge. (Out West 2) The waving wheat is a block stamp from Stampabilities. This card was made about a month ago for a very dear co-worker that retired and has a huge love of horses, as she has two herself. If you have any questions on how I made this, just let me know! You can also check out some videos like I did from the talented Theresa Momber, and she will get you started! She has so much talent! Please come on over to Just Us Girls and check out the rest of the cards from our very talented team and Guest Designer Carol Mayne. On a side note… My hubby and I took a red-eye home from Seattle Yesterday, so to say I am still a bit tired is an understatement. I don’t know about you, but I can’t sleep on airplanes. So between the 55+ miles we walked in a week’s time, the 3 hour time difference, and some serious jet lag (as the computer seems to be swaying) I don’t know which way is up. LOL Not to mention, saying goodbye to Ty always puts me in a tail spin for at least a few days. We had such a wonderful time with both Ty and Sandra (his fiance’) and hope it’s not to long before we are all reunited once again.
Hope you have a fabulous day! Laundry and grocery shopping is in my future…How about you? Nanc’

Beautiful take on the sponging challenge. I love your horses, and that beautiful blue color is perfect, really sets the mood. Gorgeous card!

Your inking on this card is spectacular, Nancy. You even included a horizon line. The running horse silhouette is beautiful with their manes flying in the breeze.
