Barnyard Buddies Simple Farmyard Charm Card with Nancy

Hey everyone, it's Nancy here. Who doesn't love a good farm theme? There is a certain mix of charm and nostalgia that a red barn lends to a handmade card. The Barnyard Buddies stamp set has a perfect mix of cute animals and icons that are great for creating a farm yard scene. Let's take a look a closer look at what we can do with this set!

The background is simple with just a wash of Distress Oxide Ink in Mowed Lawn. A very faint pattern of grass was then stamped onto the wash of color to add some texture. All of the stamped images were colored with Distress Inks. Using very little water was key in keeping the colors from looking too washed out - I love the bold color! Each stamped image with cut out with the coordinating dies and some were placed on foam tape and layered to create the scene. The cute sentiment was stamped just next to the barn to tie the design together. Notice the birdie on his back? That's my nod to the "funny farm" greeting. 

​My favorite part of the card is this chick and haystack wrapped in fiber. It adds a nice textured look to this simple card and a touch of whimsy to the design. Lastly, a few clear and yellow sequins were added just above the sentiment.

And that's how you create a simple card full of farmyard charm. Check out the Barnyard Buddies stamp and coordinating die set for your next round of handmade goodness!
