Hello and Welcome to One Stamp At A Time's October 2024 Blog Hop! We have a super fun theme this month... Falling for Farmhouse (Rustic/Farmhouse Style Projects)!
I knew immediately I was heading for the Country Flowers Bundle and the Country Woods DSP!
I love all of the DSP in the Country Woods pack but my favorite is probably this Pool Party distressed woodgrain! I used it for my background of my card. I cut a small 3/4" strip of the opposite side of the Pool Party DSP to ground my stool/flower pot. I stamped the sending love sentiment directly on that strip in Memento Black Ink. I used blends to color my images. The stool was colored using the light and dark Smoky Slate blends, the pot/vase was colored using the Copper Clay blends, and the plant was coloring using Old Olive light and dark and Mossy Meadow blends. I'm certainly NOT an expert colorist but I think they turned out pretty good. I definitely need to color more and practice. I mounted my 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" DSP onto a piece of Copper Clay that measured 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". I then added that to an 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" Pool Party Card Base, scored at 4 1/4". I ran some linen thread along the left side of the card and added three Faux Glass Dots embellishments to finish off the cardfront.
For the inside of my card, I kept it pretty simple by adding another sentiment from the stamp set as well as a small strip of the DSP.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Please click the name directly under mine to continue on for more Farmhouse/Rustic Project inspiration!
