Spring on the Farm



I wanted so create something fun and whimsical. The squirrels are playing badminton, the frog is swinging on a daisy swing, and the sheep and pig are enjoying some fresh picked watermelon. The ladybug is just sitting back and watching all the action.

The card was made using the following: Animal kingdom cart:Frog, sheep, pig, and squirrels Doodlecharms: ladybug and watermelon. I used a small punch to simulate the bite taken from the watermelon. My world: fence Accent Essentials: Sun Tree was made using a bare tree rubber stamp, colored using marvy markers. The leaves and flowers on the tree and ground were made using white liquid applique and hot pink perfect pearls pigment powder for the flowers and green perfect pearls pigment powder for the leaves. I then heated it to get the 3D look. The swing was made using punched flowers that were individually placed to form the daisy chain and used cotton candy stickles in the center of each flower. Animals, sun and fence were colored using Gamsol technique. Flowers were colored with markers and stickled with purple and yellow. Misc. embelishments: paper from stash and magic mesh. Finally, I used green and brown chalk to give the ground some dimension.
