Country Birthday

What first attracted me to the Country Ride Stamp set was the horse vane - then the wagon wheels.
The card I finally ended up making incorporated these wheels as well as several elements from other stamp set to create the country scene below

To make the fence I stamped the Hardwood background stamp with Soft Suede onto Crumb Cake card stock and cut it into 5/8" strips.  The upper and lower strip are 4 7/8" long; the 3 posts 2 1/8" long.  After sponging the edges the fence was constructed as shown and a black marker was used to make the nail marks.  It was set aside while the background was stamped.

The Waterfront stamp set  was used to stamp the mount mountains, sun and sky; Rooted in Nature to stamp the trees; the branches from Country Road; the grass from High Tide; and the black birds from Enjoy Life.

The fence was now added to the art piece, and two wheels, stamped on Crumb Cake and punch with a  1 3/4" circle punch, were slanted against it.  The two black birds were added to the top of the fence, and the sentiment on the lower strip. Two framelit elements were added above the sentiment.



The art piece was matted with Basic Black card stock, then Whisper White and finally onto a Mossy Meadow card front.
