I made this card for my Dad. I used a retired Stampin Up set name On the Farm.
My Dad lives out of town and has nicknamed his homestead "The Ranch". I thought this best fits his lifestyle!
I again fashioned this scene after
Michelle B's technique of piecing a scene. I just love this effect!
Each element is stamped, colored and mounted individually. The only thing that bugs me about this set is that is not proportional...look how big that hog is compared to the farmer...LOL I would hate to get in that piggy's pathway!
I punched the ground and fence and added this on to the sponged sky. I then used my nesties to cut out my squares (which really simplifies this process). I mounted the two squares on some red and added them back into the "scene".
I used the SU! retired cloud template for sponging the sky.

Hi Sue! I *LOVE* that you used DP for the ground. What a time saver (vs. inking it all)! I've been thinking of doing that too but....I'm DP challenged!
What a scene...that looks like so much work! Great job!
A Beautiful card!! Love the idea and coloring.
