Hey friends, it’s Christy here with another card for our Inspired by our Create a Scene: City vs. Country Challenge! I am a total country girl at heart, and I love nothing more than being out in nature! And though I’ve personally never experienced it, I’ve always thought it would be amazing to ride in a hot air balloon and get a bird’s eye view of the countryside down below. For this card, I combined the Fly High and Wheely Great Day sets. I stamped all the images in Jet Black Ink, colored them with Copic markers, and trimmed them out with the matching dies.

To build the background, I cut down a small panel of Bristol Smooth Surface Cardstock and blended on Tumbled Glass and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Inks using the Cloudy Stencil. Then I cut the Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Frame from another piece of Bristol so the whites would match and adhered the background behind the frame using 1/8” Double-sided Tape. I stamped a sentiment in black ink at the bottom.

Then I cut down a piece of patterned paper from the Let It Shine Starry Skies 6×6 pad with the Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables and adhered it to a Speckled Eggshell card base. I popped the focal panel up with Scotch 3M Foam Tape and adhered my images, finishing with just a touch of liquid glue.

On the inside, I stamped an image and sentiment from Happy Hugs with Walnut Ink. If you’d like to watch this card come together, you can check out the video tutorial on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Thank you so much, Christy for inspiring us today!

Samantha created wonderful inspiration for you with her imaginative city scene!

To create this colorful city, Samantha started with the background, stenciling the sky with Sunray Stencil to look like the glow from the city lights. She used Distress ink in Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch and Mermaid Lagoon. The she cut Stitched Hillside Borders and inked them with Black Soot and Lost Shadow Distress Oxide inks.

She stamped the images from Happy Village and Village Heroes with Jet Black ink. She water-colored them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers in rainbow hues, arranging them in rainbow order. Finally, she added a white embossed sentiment and white gel pen highlights.

Thanks so much for sharing your amazing card design with us today, Samantha! This is a perfect way to congratulate friends who have a new home!

Design Team Inspiration

It looks like most of our Design Team members are country girls at heart!

Catherine created a super fun, superhero in the city themed Platform Pop-Up card! The superhero mouse from You Autumn Know has a mask and cape from Happy Howloween. Catherine created the cityscape with Village Border, Build-A-Castle and Build-A-Barn. Then she added emergency vehicles from Village Heroes.

Joyce created a country fair scene with the new Ferris Wheel from Wheely Great Day! She added to scene with Village Shops and Happy Village, then she added lots of happy Tiny Friends!

What could be more “country” than a barnyard full of cute farm animals! Samantha combined Hay There with You Goat This to create a country themed birthday card!

Mimi‘s Apple-solutely Awesome apple-picking scene is so adorable! She included smaller trees from Tree Before ‘n Afters and layered all the trees on treetops from the Tree House set. She also added the wagon from Let’s Go Nuts and the net from Butterfly Kisses Flip-Flop, so clever.

You Goat This and All-Star combine in Samantha‘s country scene! I love the pink sunrays she inked in the background with white stencil paste clouds over the top!

Christy‘s amusement park scene is filled with sunshine and fun! She combined Wheely Great Day and Coaster Critters with some trees from Happy Village!

Franci‘s cute You Goat This scene makes me think of an alpine meadow in the Spring! I love that she created her scene in a die cut circle with Heart Garden Border, layering the cute goats on top!

We will share more Design Team inspiration for you over the next 2 WEEKS and we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 146 – Color Inspiration tomorrow! We can’t wait to see which theme you will choose, city vs country!
