for the scenery use HC birch tree set, HC scenery builders set and tim holtz' brown distress ink. colour around the stamped images with light blue marker / pencil. the bottom half – stamp the horse shoe from HC western bronco set along the sides and the HAPPY BIRTHDAY sentiment from HC western sentiments set in the middle.

to create the pop up effect - on a separate piece of cardstock stamp the two horse images from HC western bronco set and the tree image from HC birch tree set. colour them and cut them out using HC western broncos die and a die cutting machine. make two cuts to the background of the card {about 9 cm long, on top of the tree image} and bend the card inwards so that it forms a small stand inside the card. glue the coloured tree image on it so when the card is open the image will pop up.

the horses – make the stands from a separate piece of cardstock and glue them to the background.Stamp the grass and the flowers, colour them and cut the images with a white base under. fold and glue them, and your card is complete!
