FQCB Theme #8 Inspiration Card Showcased

 Welcome! I've been on a quest this year for love and country/farm/rural life creativity. This blog shares the inspiration and bonus projects for the 2 challenge blogs I started in 2022--Heart's Quest and FarmQuest.

This inspiration card is for FarmQuest's theme #8 that started earlier today.



Some notes about how I made this:

1. the light blue is the flat card base

2. kraft brown cardstock

3. chevron barn siding paper (The Paper Studio/Hobby Lobby)

4. the little black marks print paper is a recycled business envelope!!!

5. the covered wagon is free clipart image printed on kraft paper (Clip Art Library website)

6. the cows are rub-on transfers (YES!!!)

7. alpha letters for "Howdy"

8. some little scraps layered and stapled in the the upper right corner and the twine wrapped and tied on the left side complete the card; also most papers have inked edges in gold or black

THEME #8 requirements are:

a wagon image AND/OR an animal image

**I chose to use both. Guest Designer Lori Stroup chose to use just a hay wagon pulled by a tractor as her theme element(s) on her TN layout. To see her project, use the link to FQCB.

    What a cute card! I love all of the details--the wood grain paper, the patterned paper, the cow die cuts. Thank you so much for joining us at Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge this month and look forward to seeing your patterned paper creations in the future.
