Birthday on the Farm

 


Hi everyone,
I was asked to make a card for a guy who lives on a farm and loves tinkering with his old tractors!
I'm CASEing one that I made a few years ago for a 16 year old tractor lover.
Guess it goes with living in a rural area!

The tractor was diecut from some glossy green card and I added some yellow to mimic the John Deere brand.

The background is a blended mix of bundled sage, peeled paint and rustic wilderness oxide inks

The sentiment was embossed with versamark and black sparkle embossing powder.

I'm linking up to these challenges:


Around here tractors are a bit of a go to vehicle lol!
I've gone with the diagonal line of CAS Free and any shaped die

Krafty Chicks, CAS

Just Us Girls, I've chosen three shades of green.

Supplies:
Tractor die (unknown brand); Simon Says Stamp happy birthday die; Crafts 4 U stitched rectangle die; distress oxide ink; versamark ink & Ranger black sparkle embossing powder; happy sticker.

Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x

This is great for someone who loves tractors. This is a perfect card for him. I love the shine and sparkle on the birthday and it is a fun font. The sponging colors are perfect for the theme.

Spectacular card! I’m from Alberta, Canada, we see John Deere tractors just about everywhere. Love your blended monochromatic background! I didn’t realize your sentiment was embossed, it looks like a “stacked up for dimension” die cut. So glad you played with the Krafty Chicks Challenge this week.
