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.

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!
