Teapot Tuesday is here again, yahoo! Our cards are going to Jesse, a friend of Connies (stamp300). This card is in the mail and I am sure that Jessie will quickly work out I have never been to a farm in my life.
The story this week was terrific, we get extra cookies for bringing an Appaloosa horse complete with spots and dots. Sadly my Appaloosa horse, George, is still grazing in the top padock. His owner, Clyde, has started up the tractor and is going off to look for him. One of George's little mates is waiting patiently for his return....
Now for the card. Nothing went quite to plan here. The card started out as a centre step card, but I couldn't fit the little horse in (and still fit in an envelope). By the time I worked this out the adhesive tape had really taken a good grip, so I cut around the barn and the cardstock and adhered it to a stair step card.
I purchased a digi stamp from Scrappin Doodles for this, I printed it on white cardstock. I didn't have enough red dp to put in the printer so I traced around the white copy and made my own barn. I used a sharpie pen to put the lines in. I hope I haven't breached any copy write policies. If you don't hear from me for a while, I am in craft prison!!
I covered the trees with little hydrangea flowers (Martha Stewart punch) and did little green centres with liquid pearls. Inside the barn are some cows, I cut them out of last years calendar (I have probably added 2 weeks to my craft prison sentence for breaching another copywrite law).
Young Clyde on the tractor is coloured with copics and TH distress inks. I had loads of fun making this, thank you for looking and have a great week everyone.

EEK! Susie, this is so stinkin' cute! Makes me think of the song, Old MacDonald Had a Farm. Lot's of wonderful, fun details that keep our eyes moving and ... appreciating all the wonderful talent and skill you have. Always looking forward to your next creative card.

Wow, Susie, what a cool step-card - I am sure Jesse got the biggest kick out of your card, as well as the story you told to go along with it! You had me in stitches talking about "breaching copyright" and adding to your crafting prison sentence - wonderful job on this VERY creative card!!
