I see a lot of John Deere tractors in my neck of the woods, so I was instantly drawn to this little image. I wanted to place it in a field, so I added 3 layers of cardstock I punched out with the Grass Border Punch and I sponged the blades of grass with some Memento Rich Cocoa ink. The tractor is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored in with Copics. I added little accents with the Cloud Duo and Scalloped Eyelet Border dies.

I grew up on a farm so I appreciate the pun! I really like the different textures you have going on here. The little chicken is too cute. Very nicely done!

My husband is out in the field at this moment trying to mow hay around the ponds we have in NE PA with all the rain we have had. And next week is his birthday and he'll be out of town because he is also a crop ins adjuster. This will be just the card to case to send him a day late. It's a great card!!! TFS.
