Celebrate


While digging through my snippets box, I found these cute papers and thought they looked good together, so I used the sketch from Repeat Impressions Wednesday Sketch challenge #J3019 and made this card. I have a few farmer friends, so I thought this would be a fun birthday card for them.
The tractor was die-cut from red, along with stitched circles from MFT. I added some grassy borders with a SNSS die along with a couple silver brads to the tractor wheels and a cute little dog made with a Memory Box Perky Pup die. The sentiment is from Lil Inker.


My card was built around this die-cut piece I had in the snippets box that I wanted to use. I backed it with white and found the word "You" also done from a previous cutting so I put them together to make the inside of the card.


Since I used so many snippets, I'm also sharing this over at Pixie's Snippets Playground Challenge #345 where all you have to do is use snippets.

Thanks for stopping by and make it a great Sunday whatever you do!

Oh Carol, how cute this is. It is such a perfect card for a farmer and they will get a kick out of it. I love that little doggie and you always see them in the fields with the farmer.

This card is awesome, Carol! I really like the colors! They go so nicely with your diecut tractor! The gingham paper also is very trendy and goes well with your farmers card! The doggie diecut is a wonderful addition, too! Nice job! TFS! Enjoy your Sunday! :)

Fantastic card design, love the tractor die, might have to track one down as my family are farmers and i usually go down the animal route so a tractor will make a change. Thanks for the inspiration. EmmaT
