SumMoreFun ~ Challenge #26

Good Morning Dreamerz,

Today is the start of Challenge #26 on the SumMoreFun Designs Blog. The Theme/Mood Board for this challenge is so pretty. Here's my inspiration for you using: Homegrown

I seem to never have enough masculine birthday cards, yet I seem to have so many men in my life with birthdays and I am always rushing last minute to create something. The set I used to create today's card actually made it easy to make a few of these in different colors to add to my stash and have on hand

Recipe:

I started with a piece of Neenah 110lb Solar Crest cardstock and The My Favorite Things Dienamics Blueprints # 27. I ran the cardstock with the upper window part of the set thru my BigKick to get the 3 small windows. Then using my Tim Holtz stamping platform I positioned the Cows from the Homegrown stamp set in the platform and started by inking the cows with a *second generation stamp technique (See Below for link) using Memento Dew Drops in Rich Cocoa found in the Gotta Have 4 pack. For the grassy areas under each cow I used the same technique but using a small acrylic block. The ink colors were Memento Dew Drops Cottage Ivy and Bamboo Leaves from the Greenhouse 4 pack set. The sentiment was printed from my computer and then die cut using the lower section of the blueprints window. Next was assembly, all other papers are from my stash and the layers were attached to a base of Neenah 110lb Solar Crest cardstock cut to a top folding A2 sized card. Lastly the card was finished off with some homemade enamel dots affixed with Stickles in the 2 colors shown to add just a hint of sparkle.

So, now on to the details of how to play along with the challenge...
