I bought this embossing folder over a year ago and never used it until now. I used some pastel grey cardstock and die-cut it with a Lil Inker stitched rectangle, then embossed it and swiped a white ink pad all over it to make the embossed elements stand out a little more. The image and sentiment are stamps from Lindy's Stamp Gang and I colored this one with colored pencils. The little horseshoe was fussy cut and covered with glossy accents just for fun.
This image reminds me of that old old song about the "old grey mare she ain't what she used to be." LOL Truth! 😉
I'm going to share this with these challenges:
The NBUS Challenge #46 - never before used schtuff
Can you handle the pressure? - must use embossing A/G with a twist of dots

Looks like we're in for yet another rainy day, so I'll make the best of it and try to get something done indoors today! Thanks for stopping by and make it a great Monday!

It's a delightful and fun card, Carol! Very well done using this embossing folder, it's really beautiful and unusual, and the horseshoes pop out so well with the white ink!!!
Your pencil colouring on the stamp looks great and love the choice of that shade of green for the mats! The horseshoe with the glossy accent is the perfect addition. I think that all those horseshoes will bring you some good luck, well done! :)
Also here is raining and it's cold.
Sending my biggest hugs, love and caring thoughts, dear friend!!
OMGosh, this is so adorable, Carol! LOVE that embossed background and your sentiment! I always tell Shawn to put me out to pasture! LOL Your horse is colored so nicely! Well done, my friend! I think we are in for another yukky couple of days before we get any sun. All this dreary weather just makes me want to sleep!
This fun card really made me smile - loving the embossing folder as well as the stamp, they go well together
