Our nineteenth colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is garden green from the regals collection. I have chosen garden green, early espresso and so saffron from the color coach to work with today.
The colour colour garden green really stumped me for a while this week. Everything I was thinking off had green as the minority and not the focus and I kept on dismissing idea after idea. Eventually I settled on stamping a buffalo check pattern and decided to add in some lines with stampin' write markers to bring in the early espresso and so saffron and make my own DSP. I still had no idea what I was going to do with my DSP other than I was going to use it on my card some how!
After abandoning my card for a while, the John Deere logo/colours came to me. They were close to the colours I was using and I decided to try and make a punch art tractor to work with my DIY background paper. I went with a quick and easy typewriter sentiment for simplicity to complete the card.
To recreate the punch art tractor, these are the following punches (or substitutes) I used:
Letter “L” from large letter framelits for the seat (so saffron)
Letter “T” from little letters thinlets dies for the steering wheel (retired) (early espresso)
4cm x 3.5cm (1 10/16” x 1 3/8”) rectangle for the tractor body (cut the left hand side off with paper snips and round top right hand corner off) (garden green)
Layering circles framelits for the wheels (except the smaller so saffron circle is the 3/4” circle punch and [retired] 3/8” circle is used for the very centre of the wheels) (early espresso and so saffron)
Classic label punch for the back panel and roof section (garden green)
0.6cm (1/4”) strip of cardstock for the chimney cut on the trimmer and cut on an angle with paper snips (early espresso)
