Horses, Roses, and No Hats

Hello All,

For today I am playing along with Hand Stamped Sentiments and Double D Challenges. Here is my card today, enjoy!!

I have a card ready for its sentiment, right? Well not really... How do I put a sentiment that is based on the Kentucky Derby? I looked at everything I owned for a long time. Good luck, no, not right. Thanks, a complete no! Congratulations, um, it would work but for some reason, it just didn't work. Then I stumbled upon 'Best Wishes'! Perfect.  It would be perfect for all sorts of occasions!

The horses are a combination of stamped and digital images. The largest horse was stamped, scanned and printed. The stamps I owned weren't big enough to get the effect I wanted. Scanning it allowed me to enlarge the horse to the desired size.
The roses were stamped on red CS and then colored using Prismacolor pencils. I tried to create depth and realism with the roses. I used roses because the derby is nickname is 'the running of the roses'.
