On the Farm - FMS Challenge #568

When you're paper crafting and you draw a blank what motivates you to create?  Over the years, I've found the best way for me to get my mojo going is to start with some kind of challenge.  It doesn't matter which paper crafting group, and there are many, or whether its a sketch, a color, or a theme challenge.  What matters is I've looked at something that has motivated me to move to my craft desk and begin creating. 

So today, in line with my 2023 New Year's Resolution to complete at least one sketch challenge a week,  I've taking my inspiration from the Freshly Made Sketches #568  challenge hosted by Judy.

Here's the Challenge Sketch:

And Here's My Card: 

On the Farm Bundle 

SUPPLIES AND MEASUREMENTS: 

Stamp Set :  

• On the Farm 160652 - 17 cling red rubber stamps.  
• Coordinates with the On the Farm Dies and can be purchased as a bundle #160661 with a 10% discount of total price. 

Card Stock and Paper: 

• Whisper White for card base 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" and 3 3/4" x 5" piece for inside panel. Scraps for stamping the images, cut out with 1" square punch. 
• Basic Black one piece 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" for front layer (1) and 3 1/8" x 5 1/8" for center panel.  Cut 3 stitched square dies from the inner parts of these two panels for the 3 black mounting squares. 
• So Saffron layer (2) for front of card 5 1/4" x 4".  Embossed with  Evergreen Forest 3-D Embossing Folder (retired). Insider layer 5 1/4" x 4". 
• Day at the Farm Designer Series Paper #160835 from the 2023 Sale-A-Bration flyer.  Cut a panel 3" x 5".  

This set is a Level 1 ($60.00) Freebie during Sale-A-Bration and will go quickly.  So, if you're like me and love country images then Day at the Farm 12" x 12" (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Designer Series Paper will be a must have!

One side of the sheet has country-inspired images: cows, sheep, and pigs; ducks and chickens; vegetables; barns and silos; trees and plants. One sheet even has a full-page scene that you can cut into six separate 4" x 6" (10.2 x 15.2 cm) scenes to use on card fronts! The other side of each sheet has basic patterns that have a subtle pastoral feel: wire, burlap, rolling hills, plaids.  

Here is a view of the whole sheet of dsp I  used for this card.  I made 8 cards by cutting and chopping this paper into workable panels.

INK:
Momento Tuxedo Black Ink for the images and inside sentiment
Cajun Craze, Mango Melody, Pear Pizzazz and Pool Party Stampin' Blends for colouring the three 1" panels.

 
ACCESSORIES:
Paper Trimmer #152392
Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine #149653 for die cutting squares and embossing the front panel
Evergreen Forrest 3D Embossing Folder (retired)
Black Dimensionals # 150893 for mounting the three 1 1/4" square stitched panels.
Sponge Dauber #133773 for colouring background on white 1" panels

This card came together in under 15 minutes once I had decided on the papers and card stock colours I wanted to use, and that's the beauty of using a sketch.  Freshly Made Sketches is a great source for simple clean card or scrapbook layouts.  In fact they have a whole library of sketches to choose from.  Make sure you check them out.  

Happy Stamping!
