PUNCHART BLOG HOP - continued !!!!

Hi there

.

Finally this is the card I was desperately trying to finish for yesterdays Blog Hop.

.

.

.

The tractor is one I have seen online made by Boni @ swapping4fun@yahoo.com. She demonstrated this creation way back in 2009 and I made last year for my Dad who was a farmer all his life until he retired and used to own a John Deere tractor in these colours.

.

Now this week I amended slightly to incorporate the tractor but the top of the fence posts were made from Stampin' Up's Medium Jewelry Tag punch #117190 that goes with Tiny Tags stamp set #118091 in the mini catalogue. Trouble was, I wanted to lengthen them so was really pleased to find that the Word Window punch #117406 was exactly the same width so this was used for the bottom of the posts and also the cross bars. These were all punched from Designer Series Paper Tea & Crumpets #111911 which worked very well as there was a wooden textured effect paper in the set.

.

The sky was a piece of Designer Series Paper in Bashful Blue #113648 and one of the sides was plain blue. The grass was simply a piece of torn Garden Green Cardstock #109992.

.

I then went on to have fun with the clouds and the bushes using Scallop Circle #109877 and Scallop Oval punches #115429 from scrap card and used to sponge against, Whisper White Kraft ink pad #117361 for the clouds and Always Artichoke ink pad #110052 for the bushes. The camera unfortunately does not pick these up very well.

.

I adapted to add 2 black buttons from Earth Elements & Neutrals # 103981.

.

Hope you like the finished result.
