Little Patch of Life

How are you? Any summer plans?  I am so happy that I splurged and purchased the limited time Farm Fresh Kit from Taylored Expressions .   This chicken is my favorite in the kit with the piggy coming into a close second. I gave the chick a "wobble" head thanks to the mini wobbles that were included in the kit. I already had a ton of wobbles in my stash but they are just to big most projects so they just don't get used. I don't know that these are are still available, but it's worth checking out.  For this card the grass is the included Gingham Checker background stamp. I stamped it using MFT's Extreme Black and then used my TE Blender Brushes to apply Distress Oxide Bundled Sage  over the stamped image. I then used Lawn Fawn's Stitched Hillside dies to cut the image.   The clouds were done using MFT's Cloud Stencil and once again my TE Blender Brushes to apply Distress Oxide Broken China and Tumbled Glas s.  I stamped the barn from the kit and color

This card was put together for Grandma Parks for her special day. In the making of it I sent an image to my sister who also enjoys making cards and I wasn't sure how to complete it.  The image she seen was of the gifts and tag. When she seen the completed cards she had some questions, like how did you do that floor and are the gifts die cuts?  To address her questions I made a second card and recorded it.
