Rustic Wheelbarrow

Good morning. It's still quite warm here but we've had a few showers in the night and it's trying to rain again. We had a beautiful day yesterday though with hardly any wind so can't grumble.


I thought today I would show a picture of a card I made recently using a Pink Petticoat image from the Pretty Potties range. Image coloured with watercolour pencils and cut out using a Spellbinders Nestabilities Label. Olive green backing paper and image both distressed around the edges with Brushed Corduroy. I used a small leaf stamp from the Hero Arts Scattered Leaves set CL298 and stamped a panel of them across the card in the Brushed Corduroy distress ink.

Inside the card I used a scalloped circle punch to cut out the printed verse and added distress ink again and a couple of leaf stamps to co-ordinate.

Card was finished with 3 rustic looking buttons and a piece of knotted twine. Card reads 'Simple pleasures' to front .... and inside '-are life's greatest treasures'. The images you buy from Pink Petticoat come with a range of Wheelbarrow designs and you can print them with or without the wordings so there is a wide range of things you can do with them!

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.
