Hi there!
And happy July! The first of the month means it's time for another Senior Design Team Challenge at Papertrey and this month, we're focusing on the On The Farm stamp set! It's a fun one with lots of mix and match possibilities!
We've each made a couple of cards to share with you, that are inspired by a couple of Pinterest photos. Here's a peek at my first inspiration photo....
And the card I created inspired by the photo....
I loved the flowers in the photo with the rooster. I also loved the hint of turquoise from the chair, paired with the green from the grass. I incorporated all those elements in my card.
The background images from On the Farm were stamped with hawaiian shores and new leaf inks. The "Howdy" sentiment was stamped in hibiscus burst ink. As for the flowers, I pulled out The Sweet Life stamp set and stamped them in a variety of ink combos using hibisus burst, berry sorbet, raspberry fizz and pure poppy inks.
The rooster himself, was stamped with smokey shadow and pure poppy inks.
And my next inspiration photo...
All that amazing color and texture is what inspired me! Isn't it just gorgeous?! I'd love to see the whole barn that this door is attached to!
I love how worn and weathered the paint is, and I replicated that idea with the gorgeous worn background stamp from On the Farm, stamped in tropical teal ink on kraft card stock. I layered a dark chocolate cow on the background, as well as the 100% country stamp.
Then, I added a couple die cut cows to create my "herd".
For the checkered border, I inked the stamp first in hawaiian shores ink (you can see more of that over on the left side of the photo) and then right over the top before stamping, I rubbed on some tropical teal ink as well as some dark chocolate. I LOVE how worn and weathered that came out!
All righty, be sure to visit the other girls on the Design Team to check out their On the Farm projects!
