Sharing a card about life on the farm being a barrel of fun

February 27, 2023

Howdy! On this personal paper-crafting blog for love and country creativity, I'm sharing a card made for the very first competition at my friend's new challenge blog "A Barrel Of Monkeys Challenges".

Deanne has used the toy 'barrel of monkeys' as the very first theme.

My entry has a barrel and lots of blues, reds, and yellows like the colors used for the plastic monkeys but I've gone with a farm country look with my interpretation.

Vendor and design notes:

1. Echo Park = floral banner tag, frame, and life is better on the farm die-cut

2. wishing you well stamp = Hampton Arts

3. blue and white buffalo plaid cardstock = The Paper Studio

4. barrel clipart image = ClipArt Library website

5. brown marker and 2 different brown tone colored pencils for coloring the barrel

6. other items = stash

Here's Deanne's photo reminder of the children's toy:
