...Farm Fresh Summer

Happy Friday! It's Farm Fresh Friday time again at The Greeting Farm Blog, and this week's challenge was designed by our DT coordinator-extraordinaire, Jessica Diedrich...Sunshiny Send-Off! To celebrate the first appearance of TGF products at CHA in California this week, we were to create a bright and cheerful summer card. My sample showcases the images from the set "Sweet Messages" by Marina Neira. The images was stamped in black onto watercolor paper, cut out, then attached to the focal panel with dimensionals. The focal panel was cut out using Spellbinders' Deckled Rectangle Nesties...I LOVE those! I paired her with some patterned papers from the Ooh La La For Her pack by My Mind's Eye. The vertical panel was edged with a piece of melon cardstock that was punched with a Martha Stewart Border Punch, then stitched along the same side as the border punch. The circular panel was cut out using the Spellbinders' Circle Nesties, then pierced using a paper piercer and circular piercing guide. I also distressed the edges using my Heidi Swapp distressing tool, and finished the card by adding a rhinestone flourish by Me & My Big Ideas.

Now let's see what the rest of the design team members have up their sleeves for today's challenge:

• Jessica Diedrich
• Cindy Haffner
