Double D Summer Gingham Challenge & Day of the Month Card Club #29 Cow Appreciation Day


This week at Double D, we are creating cards with GINGHAM.  At The Day of the Month Club, we are celebrating COW APPRECIATION DAY.  The card I made is important to me, and incorporates both challenges.  My brother is turning 60 soon.  Several years ago, he retired from contracting to run a small ranch in central Florida, raising organic Black Angus (about 100 cows).  He loves ranching, takes his new career seriously, and runs a beautiful spread.  I made this card for his birthday.  The farm image is from Papertrey Ink's Summer Hills, stamped on kraft and Copic-colored.  The die cut Black Angus are from Papertrey Ink's On the Farm set. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's Barnyard Sentiments.  Images are set on Amuse Artstamps black gingham cardstock.  The final touch was a bit of hemp cord.

Enjoy.
