Christmas Rustic Horse
That picture is so beautiful and I was inspired by the colors, rustic beauty, the horse picture, and the plaid chair.
I started by making my own plaid to go with the colors over at Color My Heart this week. Cranberry, Fern, and Cashmere with Cocoa, Black and White. I didn't have any Cashmere so I subbed in Champagne.
Next I grabbed scraps of cardstock, paper, twine and burlap from my desk; they were all scraps from another project! Love it when that happens! I printed the postcards, inked my edges and burlap and finally did a reverse image of my horse stamp......that's where the video comes in…..oh and the title of this post! ; )
Material List:
CTMH Cardstock/Papers: White Pines, Champagne, Cocoa Fundamental, Daisy White
CTMH Inks: Cocoa Pigment, Fern, Shin Han Markers, Champagne, Cranberry, Memento Tuxedo Black

Thanks for sharing. I was looking at watercoloring tutorials to get my card in Heart2Heart and saw a similar reverse technique. What is the tape that you used couldn't clearly read.
