fiddle diddle

Last year on a visit to Chatsworth, I bought two postcards, meaning to use them as toppers for birthday cards, one was of a veiled lady (statue) and this one, which is a photo of a door in one of the majestic rooms, its actually a 'trompe d'oiel' of a violin. When you're stood in the room you still have no inkling that the violin isn't real.
As I was doing a 5ish x 5ish card, I chopped the sentiment up.

Over at cardz 4 guyz  the challenge this week celebrates the Chinese New Year, the year of the horse.
I wanted to do a vintage looking card, so popped over to the graphics fairy to see look through her amazing image library, eventually settling on this French thorobred horse (which is what the wording on the picture translates to), to keep the French theme I put bon anniversaire as the greeting
