I had so much fun making this card, my second DT project for the new challenge at FarmQuest General Store (FQGS, for short) which starts on the 7th of each month and ends on the 5th of the following month. Our theme is always Anything Farm Country Goes (see the blog site for more specifics on that.)
I played with an old photograph, printed in grayscale, and colored with blue ProMarkers to give it a bit of tint, kind of like coloring old tintypes. I cut the image with a rectangle Tonic Studios die, then layered it onto a scrap piece of CS which was the center of a frame previously cut with a Sue Wilson die for another project.
Moral of the story: Never, ever throw out the scraps! I know both the scrap CS and the scrap of dp have been around in the scrap basket for more than 2 years. The twine is probably 4 or 5 years old, and the dies I used have been in my collection for more years than I can count.
The sentiment was cut with an Avery Elle die and the top edge of the mat was cut with that same Sue Wilson die so that the sentiment would tuck in nicely at the bottom of the image piece. The striped dp was also a scrap from the basket and I think it was from a K & Co. stack. The fiber/twine came from The Twinery.
Challenges:
We'd love to see you playing in our challenges this month. We get as much inspiration from you as you get from us, you know. :-D Happy Crafting. NanaConnie
