This is for this week's MMTPT337 Tonight's Success Factor Depends on a Tractor challenge. This is the only tractor I have! I finished the card yesterday, too late for a daylight photo. Since I only just got home from work before the rain today, the light wasn't much better!
Stamped image, coloured with pencils, sponged the grass in. Distressed edges, layered onto some white card sponged with Faded Jeans. For the base I cut a strip of sunflower patterned paper, but the card looked a bit bare so I used one of the stamps from Gorgeous Grunge, in a warm sunflower colour, to jazz it up just a little.

Sabrina this is such a delightful tractor image...the whimsical sunflowers and your fun sunflower trim are precious. I agree with your choice of adding the grunge speckles - nice touch! Uncle Loyd is going to love this!! Thank you so much for coming to his Teaparty - it means so much! Make sure to take some of those fresh tractor cookies that I put out. Big hugs from New Jersey!

Oh I love the sunflower strip and the added grungy to the base. Your tractor image is fantastic and colored so well too. Yep, I think those sunflowers were farmed from my farm scene. Glad someone could help out with the farming. Hugs!
