More Down on the Farm

Evening Everyone,
Here I am, back as promised, with the other two cards that I made when I got carried away with the 'On the Farm' challenge at Woodware.

As I said I am trying very hard to use up all the bits and pieces straight away that seem to appear when creating a card, rather than consign them to the 'To do Later' box.

 The background to this card uses a Doobadoo stencil, Ebosser and distress inks.

The vertical strip is a trimming from the first card, and the paper pieced animals have been attached to some die cut circles.

I added the sentiments on white card so that they stand out. 

This second card uses another of the Doobadoo stencils, Ebosser and more Distress ink.

 Once again I have used some die cut circles

 and stamped greetings on both the punched strips

and the left over panel from the first card.
I had such fun making these cards to share with you. Sometimes a new challenge is just what we need to get the creative juices flowing.
I will be playing with some favourite old techniques in class tomorrow - Pearlex and Sticky Embossing Powder.
I love it. Perhaps I ought to pop in a couple of Christmas stamps as it works so well with them.
On the other hand I might have a rebellion to contend with if I do so I shall just have to see how wicked I am feeling in the morning lol.
Have a great weekend.
Happy Crafting
