Ride a cock-horse.....


to Banbury Cross.... the old nursery rhyme came to mind when I was making this card so I ran with the thought and made this a real rocking horse card. The base is a slider covered with lovely DCWV Nana's Nursery papers. The rocking horse was cut from pink pearlised card then embossed with a Swiss Dots folder. It was shadowed with white cardstock then adhered to the slider mechanism with a Papermania spring- when you push down on the rocker the horse rocks! I added a bow to the horse's tail, a punched border, floral arrangement and a scalloped oval holding the sentiment.

I printed out the 'Ride a cock-horse' nursery rhyme onto Safmat and applied it to the base of the card under the slider.
Carts used:
Rocking horse, scalloped oval & Happy Birthday-A Child's Year
Plain ovals-George
