Laurel Burch Mystical Mares

There's something mystical about rainbow colored horses with blue eyes and fun patterned manes and tails!  I love this Stampendous® Laurel Burch™ Horse Friends Rubber Stamp.  It's so fun to see what kind of mystical, magical, wonderful color scheme you can come up with for these awesome horses.  It's just a great stamp that can be used for pretty much anything, whatever you can imagine!
