An Agricultural themed card for a lady who has just bought a farm.

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? I hope you haven't been too affected by the weather which has been extreme to say the least. I should be helping at another Felting Workshop this morning but I think it might be cancelled.

A young couple we know have made the bold move to buy a farm in France. Their aim is to raise cattle, host holidays and run courses. The farm is called Élevage Jolivet and they have a blog and a Youtube channel. I think they are very brave but it is something they have both wanted to do for a long time. Their wedding reception was held in a barn which we helped to decorate. So you won't be surprised at the card I made for our friend's birthday.


As soon as I saw this set of images at Beccy's Place called Farm Fresh Digital stamps  I just had to have them and I knew who to make a card for. The lady in question does have a red tractor at the farm. The banner was a digital image that I got free last year. I used Publisher to make a background and arrange the images. I do like make cards with digital images. Especially now I have found out how to set a transparent colour. With Precoloured images this works a treat. 


I hope she liked this card her birthday was last weekend. 

Stay safe in this cold weather. 

Happy crafting

Hugs Jackie

Perfect card for the recipient and good luck to both of them
I do a lot of CD-ROM crafting I must look into buying some images and investigate “transparent” backgrounds is it saving the image as a png image have something to do with it?
Stay warm xx
