I was lucky enough to grow up on a farm and my parents are so generous with the farm fresh produce they give us! Sweet corn for eating fresh and freezing, apples for applesauce and pie filling, pears, and the list goes on. This year was really a bumper crop for the fruit trees and I was very busy canning for quite a while, but I do believe I am caught up with that. It is time consuming but so worth it! This is a card for my parents to thank them for everything they have given us. The die cuts on this card are from the Country Life Cricut cartridge. I rarely make cards with only cuts from cartridges, but this is one of those few. I added the bandana ribbon at the bottom and three yellow brads at the top left.
The corn is popped up and I embossed the yellow layer with a dots folder and then used yellow ink and white acrylic paint to make the ear of corn look bi-colored. The corn husk was embossed with a striped embossing folder.
I used brown chalk around all the die cut layers and the matting layers.
I was very pleased at the country feel of this card as well as the fall/harvest theme of it too. Harvesting has begun of the crops in the fields here and I know my parents are too, so they will really appreciate the theme of this card :)

Great harvest card. Hope your parents love it, and you enjoy the fruits of your labour.
ReplyDeleteAwesome creation to thank your parents ... I'm sure they will be thrilled! I too do some home canning ... not as much as I did growing up on a small farm also, but still try to do some each year and taught my daughter/granddaughter so now THEY carry on the tradition. SO good in the wintertime!! Thanks for sharing!
