First up, a thank you card. I began by stamping a line up of barn yard animals along the bottom edge of a cardstock panel. All in a color combo of Lemon Tart, Canyon Clay & Melon Berry.
For a bit of added texture and interest I chose to impress the focal image panel with the Chicken Wire Impression Plate. I can't recall ever doing this technique, of impressing over a stamp focal point, but I'm delighted with the way it turned out.
Then finished the card off with a sentiment, button and twine.
Next, a funny farm birthday card. I began by stamping the right side of a Rustic White card base with the woodgrain stamp strip, from Background Basics: Farm & Barn, in Soft Stone ink.
Die cut the farm animals from kraft cardstock, stacked one on top of the other and then attached with dimensional adhesive.
Then, for a pop of color I finished the card off with an On The Farm sentiment strip stamped in Canyon Clay.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
