Createful Hearts Challenge #4

Welcome, welcome and welcome.  So very happy that you could join me.  I have a fantastic birthday card for your inspiration.  Let's get to it!

Here in Albany, where I live, for the past 25 years the city has been carving and painting carousel animals for a authentic Dentzel carousel.  Well the dream finally became real in August 2017.  I absolutely LOVE carousels.  I have been riding then all my life.  I told the story to Mary (owner and designer of Createful Hearts) and low and behold she drew a beautiful carousel horse for me to color and feature in this challenge.

So that's the background story.  To make this card I used the following:
 
*Neenah embossed card base
*light pink, pink and yellow squares stacked
*Misc. stickers
*Free Carousel background fussy cut
*Sivo Vivid color pencils (India)
*1/4"  round sticky jewels
*Many OTT lights
*Needle nosed tweesers
*most important Mocha Mix from Costco



I used my imagination to color the horse.  (As the only time I have been on a real horse was many moons ago)  I hope that it does represent a horse.  I fussy cut the Carousel background that I printed on my printer.  Then I put the card together.  So here is what I created!


This is the front of the beautiful Carousel card.

Here is a closeup of the stickers and round jewels

Here is the inside.

I hope that my creation gets your mojo up and running.  I try and get a boost from my design team members each week.

Thank you so much for visiting.  I will be back sharing another creation for Challenge #6.  

Bright blessings and have your best week ever!  Jana
