I love pen and ink art and pencil sketches. I don't know what it is, but whenever I'm around art, I'm drawn to them. My FIL also raises Friesian horses. In fact, there are 10 of them grazing in our pasture right now. So when I saw these charming Santa Horses, I couldn't wait to work with them. All I did was stamp them with Tuxedo Black (Memento) and colored the hats with pastels (chalks). The sentiment is from A Merry Little Christmas Borders and Centers set (JustRite). I ink distressed everything with Walnut Stain (Ranger Distress Ink).That's it. Easy peasy!! I took very little time to make this!!
Thanks for stopping by!!

What a marvelous image Tosh. I love what you've done with it. Heavy sigh....
might have been easy, but only you could achieve such warmth and beauty
It's a beautiful image and you did the slight accent (pasteling the hats) and let the horses stand with very little fanfare ~ perfect!
