From the Herd Birthday Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here! I am sharing my From the Herd Birthday Card using Down on the Farm by Paper Nest Dolls for my Design Team Inspiration Card. This bundle comes with 15 digital stamps including 5 dolls, horse, cow, pig, ewe, chicken coop, tractor, hay, corn, sunflowers and so many more.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to create a slimline card to fit my characters. So, I used my new Picket Fences Diecutting System with the circle dies since one was a fence and the other was grass. Perfect for my farm card! I die cut the fence out of some paper that looked like wood. I added sky paper behind the cow and horse but added a farmer’s field paper behind the girl and pig. To add to my farm theme, I use some wooden boards paper to create my vignettes of the scenes. I wanted the girl and pig to stand out. So, I placed them in front of everything on the die cut grass that has the stamped sentiment. Don’t you just love the sentiment, “Happy Birthday from the Herd. Lol!
