Farm Life

I absolutely adore this set "Farm Life"--it is so much fun to color too!  I made this card for my hubby to celebrate our wedding anniversary this fall (shhh don't tell him, hee hee)!  We will be renewing our vows after 16 years together and I cannnot wait--I love him  more than anyone else on this planet, he is the best and has always been there for me and is my best friend.  So this card is very special to me and I love how it turned out!

I tried to keep the elements masculine and in fall colors since our anniversary is this fall!  But you could easily color this image for any season as well.  The papers are by Memory Box and the cardstock is from Gina K (chocolate & sweet corn).  The background was embossed with a Cuttlebug folder and I scrunched up the ribbon by laying my scor-tape down first and then applying the ribbon to it.  The fun vine (my fave) is by Marianne Designs and then I punched out some fall leaves from my cardstock colors and added them along the vines.  I also inked the edges of the leaves and then added some Stickles in gold and copper for some sparkle.  And the sentiments in this collection are fabulous!

My entire image was colored with Copics to create a fall scene and then I added some more stickles to the leaves for more sparkle.  All the edges of my papers got distressed using my Zutter Distress tool and then I inked all the edges using my fave Inkssentials Foam Blending Tool (best thing evah'--I use it everyday)!!

Hope you enjoyed my card for tonight's sneak peeks---now make sure to check out what the designers have created below (I know they are fantastic)!!
