When I first read the title on the
Simon Says Stamp & Show blog I was completely taken aback. How in the world was I going to come up with something that would fit the theme as well as incorporate the products I use most often? Well, it didn't take too long after I started scouring the internet for some old wives' tales when I came up with ... hang a horsehoe over your door for good luck but don't put the flat bits pointing down or all your luck will fall out.
I started out with a 6x6 piece of chipboard and colored the sky and grass using the Distress Ink color blocking technique Tim has shown on the Ranger site.
Tim's dies: Branch tree, Rickety House, On the Fence, Mini Paper RosettesSmall Easel (holds it upright and is a-w-e-s-o-m-e!!!); Tim's embossing folders: Wood Grain, Bricked; Tim's stamps: Birds (
Lost & Found)
Ranger: Blues, Greens, Pumice Stone, Fired Brick, Walnut Stain, Broken China, Vintage Photo Distress Inks; Rock Candy Distress Crackle Paint; Pebble Paint Dabber
Misc: Horseshoe punch, green Flower Soft, lace
So much angst for nothing!
I think this is fabulous!

Hi Susan. Your 6x6 chipboard for the old wives' tale about hanging a horseshoe upside down over a door is really cute. Lots of work went into this one! I hope you've also entered it into Grungy Monday, since you're using the color block background. This whole piece is really cute and well done. Thanks for joining us at Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge. <3 Candy
