"county fair" card

I thought that these sets would make a fun summer card!  This one took lots of patient cutting, but it was worth it!

Supplies:
For the background, I used the daisy and distressed stripes Cuttlebug embossing folders after cutting cardstock into hilly shapes. I also inked the cloud using the cloud template from Crafter's Workshop. I made the blue ribbon using Fiskars and Hobby Lobby punches plus ribbon. All coloring was done with Crayola colored pencils, a Sakura white gel pen, Bic fine point permanent markers, and various colors of ink pads.

Stamps:
Farm Girl*, Carrot, Tomato, Eggplant, Sun, smile, wheat -- Paper Smooches/
Quote -- Stampabilities/
Number -- Making Memories/

*Look closely ~ the Farm Girl comes as a boy in the set. The stamp designer included the leaf/petal shape to use to make pigtails. I decided she would be cute with more of a braided set of pigtails, but I wasn't satisfied with how the ends of the braids would look. At first, I thought I would sketch out the ends with colored pencil, but then I saw the wheat stamp in the set. I inked the top section of wheat, and voila! It became the end of her braids. :) I added the bows by hand.  I also stamped the sun twice, in orange and yellow, and layered one on top of the other.  And, if you look closely, there are tiny wheat stalks coming up out of the "dirt".

Thanks for taking a look! ~ Amanda B., the manderbean :)
