Flowers and Picket Fence

Isn't this just a neat looking card? I was very happy with the completed project. I started with Cajun Craze cardstock for the base. There is a layer of vanilla, and smaller layer of Cajun Craze. The small layer was embossed using Tim Holtz brick folder. Stamp set used Fabulous Florets. I stamped the stem and leaves on Pear Pizzazz then cut them out. That was a bit time consuming but well worth the effort. Flowers were stamped on More Mustard with Chocolate Chip ink then cut out and popped.

Inside of the card

For the fence I used the jewelery tag punch from SU. To make the fence post I needed to make a longer strip. So I cut strips of vanilla cardstock 3/8 inch wide. Then slid a strip into the punch and pulled the bottom out of the punch to the length I needed then punched it out.

It was to hot to move much yesterday. Got up to 99 degrees which is very hot for us. I took my morning bike ride at 7 and by the time I got back the top of my t-shirt was soaked with sweat. Needless to say I didn't venture out anymore except to the mailbox to get the mail, and to water the garden. Suppose to rain today. I'm hoping it will as we can really use it.
