Hello and welcome to the Stamping with Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing projects made using product from the new mini catalogue. I have chosen to use the Rocking Horse stamp set and dies to make a simple ‘rocking’ card.
Colours used in this card are:
To recreate the rocking horse card, you will need:
Pretty Peacock card – 5½” by 5½”
Oxidised Copper speciality paper – 5” by 5”
Basic White card – 4¼” by 4¼” x 2
Scrap Basic White card
Using the largest Deckled Circle Die, I cut a circle from the piece of Pretty Peacock card. I placed it in the corner of the Simply Scored Scoring Tool and scored it down the centre at 2½”. Fold and burnish on the scoreline.

The Oxidised Copper speciality paper was die cut using the next size down Deckled Circle. I glued it to one side of the scored circle.

I skipped the next deckled circle and die cut a white circle from the next size down, using a Blending Brush, I added Lost Lagoon ink to the centre of the white deckled circle and using a Sponge Dauber, I added Pretty Peacock around the edge. The circle was then glued to the oxidised copper paper.

The sentiment was stamped in Pretty Peacock ink onto the white circle. I love that the photopolymer stamps can be bent and curved.
The rocking horse was stamped in Versamark ink onto scrap Basic White card. I covered it with Copper Embossing Powder and heat set it using my Heat Tool.

The horse was coloured using the light and dark Smoky Slate Blends. I coloured the harness, saddle and saddle blanket with Wild Wheat and Pretty Peacock Blends Pens. The rocker was coloured in using the Copper Clay Blends Pens. I die cut the image using the Rocking Horse Dies. I added it to the white circle on Dimensionals.

A trio of Brushed Metallic Dots completed the card. Isn’t it adorable?
