Treat for A Pony

Great minds think alike, or at least choose the same stamp to feature at One Crazy Stamper.  Madge, a fellow dt member, featured this cute image a couple of weeks ago, and now here's my version of the same image.


This is Whimsy Stamps artist Crissy Armstrong's "Good Pony" image, which I have colored with Copics.  The pony's eye and the red apple both received a coat of Diamond Glaze, and then I cut the image out with Spellbinders Label 25.  After cutting the image out, I noticed that the shape resembles that of a belt buckle, so for the mat I inked up a Cuttlebug embossing folder with black, and used the folder like a letterpress.  After embossing, I ran a Tsukineko Silver Metallic ink pad over the raised parts of the mat, creating the look of a metal belt buckle.  The brown cardstock behind the buckle represents the belt itself.

  2. I LOVE this. It completely looks like a belt buckle, that was my first thought before I even read your description. The embossing and stamping give it such dimension, great job!
