Hello, All! It's the middle of the month, so it is time for our mid-month inspiration for Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra. I hope you are busy with your Christmas crafting. I went a bit rustic and distressed with this one. I have had this set for several months now (maybe even longer) and haven't inked it up yet. I think I wasn't quite sure how to use it; having to color that entire image intimidated me. But I figured out a way around that: go old-school and leave it uncolored! Perfect!!
Challenges:
Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper--anything goes as long as it is covered with patterned paper

This is so wonderful! I grew up on a horse ranch in a small town, and you just took me back there with this card! Love that image and the rustic country feel of your colours! :)
I love the rustic styling of your design. Nice color integration and wonderful composition and construction. Thanks so much for sharing with us here at Shopping Our Stash!

Another one of our players who can cut straight with a knife and ruler. I'm feeling so inept right now! HA! Love the old-timey image, too, and yeah, no color is perfect for this one.
