Graphic 45 Off to the Races and Sketch N Scrap

Don't you just love Graphic 45?  I purchased this stack at Tuesday Morning.  My niece is a horse girl and I thought I would use it for her.  This time I have made her a birthday card.  The main issue is the paper stack features English riding style and my niece is a Western rider.  I tried to minimize those factors for her benefit.  But a horse is a horse, of course, of course... (a free card to the first person to comment below as to the source of that phrase)

Here is the past sketch I used from Sketch N Scrap #38 originally posted 11.20.14.  I reversed the image and sentiment because the horseshoes needed to be upright in my opinion.  I just love the little strip saying "hot to trot" that I added for the bottom piece.

I used a metallic pen to create a frame of dots.

I used a die cut to frame this sweet quote for the inside.
