Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges. This week’s inspiration is bowl of colorful field corn!
FRAMED SCENES
You probably know by now that I LOVE punch art! So, when I saw these ears of corn, I wanted to make them for my card, but we really don’t have any corn stamps except the little row of corn in the Tractor & Co stamp set! But you CAN make corn cobs from an oval! I originally purchased the Framed Scenes Dies just for the ovals in them!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Old Olive cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic Beige cardstock was embossed with the Forever Plaid EF and added to the front of the card.
- A 1-1/4 x 5-1/4 strip of Floral Delight DSP was added down the right side.
- The corn husks were cut from Old Olive cardstock using the larger Framed Scenes oval die, then cut partially down the center and the two ends folded back on themselves and held with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A Blending Brush was used to add Old Olive Ink to the edges.
- Two smaller ovals were cut from Daffodil Delight cardstock using the smaller oval die from Framed Scenes. They were embossed with the Forever Plaid EF, then brushed with Crushed Curry Ink. They were adhered behind the oval corn husks.
- The two ears of corn were added to the front of the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Some Old Olive Linen Thread (new!) was tied in a bow and added to the top corn husk with a Mini Glue Dot.
- The greeting from Amber Autumn (new!) was stamped with Old Olive on Basic Beige cardstock and cut with the smaller oval die from Framed Scenes Dies. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A trio of green Low Profile Sparkle Dots were added to the background.
SO fun! I bet any gardener or farmer would appreciate this card! OK, check out Debbie’s Inspiration Monday card over on Create with Stamping Friends!
