Today’s card features the new colors in our full line of ink pads, Pecan Pie. It reminds me of our farm in Illinois. Yes, folks you read that correctly I grew up on a farm in the very small town of Merna just outside of Bloomington/Normal Illinois. Who knew! It is quiet, peaceful and small, did I mention small. Seriously there are 100 people if that living in Merna.
We did not have any festivals and although it is small, you will not find any quaint shops, so I doubt if Hallmark will be featuring us anytime soon. There is a very fun little tavern, well that is what my grandpa called it. I think the correct term is Merna Tap. We moved when I was 5 so Merna Tap was not on my list of things to do! LOL
I began with a Basic White card base and added a layer of Pecan Pie. To another layer of Basic White (3 ¾ x 5) I used Pecan Pie ink and stamped off to create the lighter looking wheat. The greeting stamped in Pecan Pie is also from the Nature’s Prints stamp set.
So whether you are a farm or city girl, I hope you enjoy this card and create something beautiful today. Happy Stamping!
