Wallpaper Focal

Today's card comes from a wallpaper sample book!  I couldn't tell you which one, since I had several that I tore apart, but I loved the little horse picture.  Though this card says thank you on the front, it is actually a Father's Day card for my Dad, thanking him for caring.  I thought the picture supported that theme.  It can be hard to come up with ideas for masculine cards, and I thought this would work.  This was a border paper and I was able to trim it top and bottom to give me a couple of narrow borders for the top and bottom of the inside of the card. The sentiment was cut from brown adhesive-backed cardstock (with my Silhouette) and matted on cream to help it stand out on the dark background.
