I feel a little bit tired today, after the wedding I went yesterday and we went to bed quite late... Anyways, I would like to show you a card I made for this forthnight at Gingerloft and our challenge is: It's a small world, basically represent where you are from.
As I am from Argentina and at this moment I live in Kazakhstan I chose a horse to represent where I am from (horses everywhere in both coutries). The image is called Wild Fire and I colored it with Koh-i-noor aquarelable pencils. I cut it out and placed it on a double circle mat white and black. I used foam tape for it.
The base cardstock is a beige Folia one and I used 4 petals flower Sizzix embossing folder. I used some foam tape to glue it to the card base.
The ribbon is a tipical Argentinean one, it's a folk ribbon called "guardapampa" and comes in different colors.
As this card will be for a man, I kept it simple and masculine. I didn't know if to put the sentiment or not... finally decided that only I write inside :)
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Crafting with dragonflies: card for a guy

Hiding in my craftrom: masculine birthday
