Mashed the two inspirational pieces into this Funny Farm birthday card.
We just returned from a whirlwind drive down to Arizona to 'rescue' all the things we had to leave behind when we rushed home in March of 2020. While there I just happened to make a purchase or two and this "Funny Farm" stamp by Stampendous was one of them. Once a farm girl, always a farm girl. It just hollered at me to take it home.
I stamped it with Versafine Black on Tim Holtz WC paper;
coloured it with distress inks and an aquapainter;
dropped the black ink spot on my nearly finished image as I was putting the lid on it and had to try and fix the splotches;
remembered that these are all farm animals and a little 'dirt' on a pig is quite acceptable;
gave it a black border and a grassy bg;
found some punny things for the animals to say and printed them on white cardstock.
The inside says: Happy birthday from everyone at the Funny Farm. Even found a font with farm animal silhouettes to use with the inside sentiment.
Thanks for stopping by!

This is great! My son bought me this same stamp for Christmas and it hasn't gotten inky yet, but this inspired me to get at it...from another "always a farm girl"

This just "quacks" me up and I wish I could think of a whole slew more of animal puns because this card deserves lots of adulation. I think your pig looks quite happy that he has a bit of "dirt" on him. I wouldn't have known if you hadn't said. Great coloring on the menagerie and such a fun layout. Super card. And glad you make it home safely. That's a long drive.

Glad to see a card from you, I had missed you in the galleries the last couple of weeks. What a great set of punny sentiments to go with those sweet farm animals.
I absolutely LOVE this adorable card! The sentiments are perfect with those fun animals. Beautiful coloring! I think this would be so fun to receive on one's birthday!

A fantastic scene you created! Your coloring is superb. Love the animals and the bit of the barn and your grassy BG. The framing and headlines, perfect...
