Farm Girl and Juicy Tomato Cards

Although spring is right around the corner, I already have summer on my mind.  Today I have a duo of summer inspired cards that are sure to inspire a little bit of warmth on this chilly February day.


Nothing says summer like fresh eggs and juicy, ripe tomatoes!


The image on this card is near and dear to my heart.  We have a bunch of chickens here on the Coleman farm where my 6 y.o. daughter is affectionately known as the Chicken Whisperer.  If ever there is a need to catch a chicken, she is the one to do it.  She is patient and gentle which inspires trust in the chickens. 


I used all sorts of round Epiphany Crafts goodness to create a dimensional circle border on this card.  I used the Round 25 and 14 tools, the Button 20 and 14 tools, as well as a brad setting.  I {heart} my Epiphany rounds!


I used a zigzag stitch to secure the ribbon detail to the edge of the card.


Look at all of those juicy tomatoes!   They make me look forward to gardening and canning season!


I created a custom tomato embellishment with my EC Round 25 tool to add some dimension to the card.  Yum!  

Sweet dreams of summer!
