Tina's B-Day Card

Yesterday was my friend Tina's Birthday.  I made a card for her like the one I did for my Step-Daughter-in-law on 11/28 (see posting below).  The instructions I got from StampingSchool.com.  I know she liked it, she sent me a text message to let me know! 

This one I used more pearls on and the Soft Suede strip across the middle I punched with the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch. 

Tractor Card

I found this cute little punch art tractor on Addicted To Stamping blog, she has so much cute stuff over there, check her site out. This little tractor was made from Stampin' UP! punches. the word window for the smoke stack, the large tag punch for the front and rounded the top corner with the corner rounder punch. I used the scallop circle punch for the back tire and a heart for the seat, the little slit punch for the steering column and the steering wheel I cut myself, just like she did. The background I just tore a piece of copy paper and sponged on clouds and the ground. The puffs of smoke from the smoke stack are the three flower punch. I used brads for the insides of the wheels and sponged all the pieces with the new Early Espresso Classic Ink. The tractor body is Old Olive CS and the base for the card is Kraft (soon to be Crumb Cake) CS and I layered Basic Black and Old Olive before mounting the card onto the front. The "happy birthday" is from the Happy Moments Stamp Set. I think this card might go to my farmer nephew for his Birthday in October.
