Hammered Textures

The harvest season has had another setback unfortunately - this time in the form of a blizzard that dropped around 18" of heavy snow.  We still have about a third of our potato crop in the field as well as all of our soybeans so if we can get back into the fields it is going to be another long fall...

I would love to say that the setback gives me a lot more time in the stamp room, but that isn't the case - always so many other things that need to be done, but hopefully I can give you a few more project ideas...

This card is a result of playing around with some different textures and colors...I started with the Tasteful Textures stamp set and used Granny Apple Green ink on a Whisper White card stock base.  

Then, I embossed some Granny Apple Green card stock with the Hammered Metal folder and punched out a 2" circle.  The layer under the circle is a piece of Noble Peacock specialty designer series paper and my sentiment layer is die cut with the Stitched labels collection.  

Supplies:

Tasteful Textures, Love What You Do

Blueberry Bushel, Granny Apple Green ink

Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green card stock
