Hello, I am back with Episode Four of my stamp set of the month series for August. This month I have shared cards made using the Honey Bee Stamp set, Way to Goat. In this Episode I am making A9 cards, cards that measure 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" when shut. You make one by folding an 8-1/2" x 11" piece of card stock in half. I wanted to do this large sized cards because I wanted to make a card with the barn from the die set, Barn Scene Builder on it. The barn itself is 5-1/2" x 5-1/4", so this A9 sized card allows me to put the barn on the card and have room left for a scene as well.
I made two cards for this episode, Fall on the Farm and Halloween on the Farm.
First let's take a look at Fall on the farm.
I had so much fun playing with fall colors for this card. I love the golden grass colored hill and how it contrasts so well with the blue sky.
The background was an easy ink blending job with just Speckled Egg Distress Oxide ink.
I colored images from the Way to Goat Stamp set as well as the Warm Wishes stamp set with Copic Markers.
I used Brushed Gold card stock for accents on this card and it is such a stunning look. I love that I was even able to make white highlights on it with my white Gelly Roll pen.
For the sentiment on this card I used the Grateful stamp set and coordinating die set. I love the large brush lettered sentiment mixed with the smaller type font.
The door opens to reveal a duck and the top window opens to as well, where all the fall apples are being stored.
Now let's take a look at the Halloween on the farm.
You can see the layouts of these cards are basically the same. I used Twisted Citron for the Halloween sky. I love a good green sky for a Halloween card with a giant moon.
Besides the Way to Goat and Warm Wishes stamp set I used two Lawn Fawn stamp sets to add to this scene. I used Happy Harvest for additional pumpkins and the crows. I also used Tiny Halloween for the bats, the spider and images inside my little windows.
I love having these little interactive windows on my card!
These giant cards were so much fun to make and fill up with images to create these scenes. I love the goat walking on the fence and all the fun halloween colors.
