Today’s card was designed for a theme, “farmhouse chic.” I did a little research, because I wasn’t entirely sure of the meaning, and this is what I learned: “There’s an emerging style trend, Farmhouse Chic. The look is relaxed and rustic but rethought, with a contemporary new spin that’s all about texture and tone in a mix of materials.”
I was excited, because it gave me the opportunity to revisit one of my favorites, the Sunflower Dies. Don’t you think it has a “contemporary spin?”
“farmhouse chic”
I began with a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. This was topped with In Good Taste Designer Paper, 4″ X 5 1/4″, embossed with the Bark Embossing Folder for additional texture.
The In Good Taste Designer Paper is fantastic, and I’ll give you an early notice: it’s one of the designer papers that will be in the Designer Paper Sale for the month of July. So, if you’re thinking about ordering it, wait until July. You can see all of the patterns in my Product List below, including the one I used for photography.
The sunflower was cut with the two dies you see in the first picture. The frame was cut from Thick Basic White Cardstock, and the piece beneath was cut from Brights 6X6 in Daffodil Delight, my favorite yellow. This pattern has retired, but you can see the four new patterns in my Product List.
I glued the two parts together at the circle, and attached it to the card front with Dimensionals.
The leaves were cut from Mossy Meadow Cardstock and Pear Pizzazz Cardstock, glued together, and then glued flat, beneath the sunflower.
“Thanks” is from the Queen Anne’s Lace Stamp Set, stamped in Mossy Meadow Ink, and cut with an Ornate Frames Die. I thought it looked like “farmhouse chic.”
I was inspired by TGIF.
