Chugging Along

Welcome

Thank you for taking the time to visit
The challenge at We Love Stamping this month is
Anything Goes with an option of Masculine.

I made this card for a youngster who lives on a farm.


I used a 'mop-up' background, for which I had used some textured card, 


 I stencilled across the bottom of the card as a grounding for the tractor


The tractor was stamped, embossed and coloured and die cut and popped up on foam dots.
The Vintage Tractor stamp and die set is from  Paper Rose.   


The sentiment from the set was stamped and embossed on white card, 
then  die cut and edged with brown ink.

From memory I used a trimming from the background panel to 'decorate' the inside of the card.

I am linking this to:

(there are stripes in the background)

  16. Well know, this tractor looks like my late FIL's tractor, then it became my late husband's tractor and now I have no clue if it is still at the farm or not....I think it is. I love this card, it is right up my alley with the farming my late husband did. A fun, masculine birthday card for a youngster or even an adult male! Love the background and the grounding. Hugs, Brenda
