I CASED a friend's card (who no longer blogs) to make this one, and used some remnants of striped papers from my stash along with a snippet of distressed dsp. for the image panel. I stamped the image of the horse (I think it's by Inkadinkado) on the distressed panel, and matted it with grey and placed it off the edge, adding an ancient large metal brad that SU! made years ago. I placed a decorative metal brad inside that for a rustic masculine look. The sentiment is by Mark's Finest Papers (no longer in business) and I added 2 tiny silver metallic stickers just for fun.
Here's how I decorated the inside with another MFP stamped image, sentiment, and a strip of matching dsp.

Sounds like you're using your old stuff up Carol? I love this fabulous card, the sentiment suits the horse so beautifully. Love it. x
Wow! I don't think I have ever seen this image, but it's awesome! What a stunning card, both inside and out!
That is very cool, I like the horse stamped onto the distressed background and the border of them on the inside is neat too! Great papers to pair it with!
Wonderful card, love the image! Have a great day, hugs!

Terrific masculine card here Carol.
Thanks for entering a piece of homework to the Snippets Playground. See you up in the treehouse later. xxx
I love it.
Such a great card, Carol! Love the paper which reminds me of Basic Grey! Wonderful horse image and I love that it is off center. You always make the best masculine cards, my friend! I love it!
WOW! I have seen and gotten a lot of great masculine cards but this is exceptional. The design is eye catching and the colors perfect. This card will hold your attention for awhile. Love the attention to detail.
Hugs and Blessings
Brilliant card Carol - I do so love the horse on the front of your card as well as those running free along the bottom of the inside of the card. What beautiful creatures they are - I love to seem them without saddles and all the tack they are subjected to. Nicce work indeed!
Hugs

Fabulous card, horses are so amazing and like this design!
Oh I love how you used this horse. I have this image and it has been a bit since I used it. This card is really pretty.
What a really stunning horse image! I love the wood looking texture over it and the metal medallions are perfect for this design! Very nicely done!
Fantastic!! Thanks for playing along with our "Metals" challenge over at Cardz 4 Guyz!! You rocked the "Metals" element with your jumbo brad (I still have some of these) and your card was perfectly masculine!! Deb Horst, DT #C4G352
