Howdy!

Published by Julia Stainton at 5:06 am under Card Designs, Cornish Heritage Farms

Well, there’s nothing much western about me but I thought I’d have a little fun creating in a western theme for today’s design. Actually, I’ve been dying to use this gorgeous Prima “Down Home” flower for ages and pairing it up with this Paisley Pattern Scrapblock™ seemed to be a natural fit. I’ve been enjoying creating different looks with this Scrapblock™ and stamping on Kraft with Denim Adirondack Pigment ink gave a great look.  Add in a little texture, some distressing and stitching and you have a really warm, homey look.

Western Hello

Quick Tip: Add a little variation to your designs now and then by trying out a different card  size than you normally use. This card measures 4″ x 8.5″ and the extra size really helps balance off the size of this beautiful flower.

Take care and thanks for stopping by!

    This is really country pretty and works great together. I have to put that scrapblock from CHF on my wish list. It would get a lot of use!

    This is a fabulous card (love the size). The eyelet trim is just perfect to give it that western feel.
