I decided to use the Forever Friends stamp set for my sample...I just love these cone flowers in fall colors!
Creative Nugget: The new Z Fold Card with Layers Dies were used to create the base of the card and some of the layers were cut with papers from the Follow the Son Paper Pad which coordinate with the Fall Favorites pad. The sentiment peeking out from the second fold was embossed on and layered to circles cut with the Circles and Filigree Circles Dies.
The card opens to reveal a whole field of coneflowers which were masked and stamped repeatedly across all of the panels and colored with Copic Markers. The new Farm Fence Die was used for the fencing and the sentiment was stamped on a banner cut with one of the Treat Tags Dies.
For my second card we head down to the farm!
Creative Nugget: The blue and green papers from the Boho Bolds Paper Pad were cut with the Sunburst Background Die and the Grass Hill Die to form the background for the farm scene. The animals are all from the Farm Friends Stamp/Die Duo and were colored with Copic Markers. Other dies used to create the scene include the Barn, Farm Fence, Pierced Circles and Fancy Circles dies.
By making a little T cut with a craft knife around the barn doors, they fold open to reveal a white embossed sentiment inside...along with two more farm friends! The sentiments are from the Hogs & Kisses stamp set.
