Saddle Up!

Good morning!

Jessica here with a card in honor of The Kentucky Derby that was held last Saturday!  My family and I watched the race and I was inspired to pull out the fun Giddy-Up stamp set to make this card!

I rubbed some light brown chalk ink on a paper doily to make it a bit more masculine, did it work?  lol!

I hope you have a great day!
