On The Farm

Hello and welcome to the third day of the Papertrey Ink May Countdown and the first Design Team group post. Today's post is all about the new On The Farm Collection, which includes On the Farm, Background Basics: Farm & Barn, Chicken Wire Impression Plate and Shape Up Series: Barn Die.  I used a few of these items to create a couple cards for you today.  Let me get started...

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.

Well, there you have it.  I hope you've enjoyed! Just remember that the entire On The Farm Collection is available begining May 15, at Papertrey Ink. Now, be sure to see what the rest of the Papertrey Ink design team has in store for you today...
Thanks so much for stopping by!

    Nicely done! The Kraft animal tower is great and the chicken wire impression over the stamped animals looks fantastic. I was very interested in how you were going to take these farm animals and make a card that was distinctly you. I must say that I am impressed. :) But then again I am always impressed with everything you make!

    The chicken wire impression looks great over the stamped images. Your stacked animals are a riot though. Both cards are terrific!

    I love your farm creations, very unique and appealing. Great kraft cutouts, cute layout and love how you embossed the white one with the stamped images. Very nicely done.
