Tractor & Co.

I was thrilled when I saw this adorable Tractor & Co. on the preorder list … it’s so very fun!

I used a combo of lots of things on this one … DSP, stamped images, die cut images and some braided and knotted Baker’s twine.

This is my best attempt at a John Deere tractor! I stamped the tractor body and trailer in Garden Green ink. I then cute out the fenders, seat, hoot hardware, wheeled and hubcaps (not to mention the roof over the cab of the tractor). I used.a sponge to distress the edges of the fenders over each tire to give them a more rustic look.

I stamped the hay image using Crushed Curry ink onto some Crushed Curry cardstock, which I ten cut out with a die.

I couldn’t stop adding cute things to the trailer behind the tractor … Poppy Parade banners, Granny Apple Green cornstalks with ears of corn stamped in Daffodil. Delight on Daffodil Delight cardstock. I then stamped the darling little rooster in both Daffodil Delight and Poppy Parade ink on Basic White cardstock. I then did some fussy cutting to put the Poppy Parade head on the Daffodil Delight body. 

The two tones of Timeless Plaid DSP worked as a perfect fun and farmy background. I just cut and ripped a strip of the Crumb Cake/Pecan Pie-colored paper to use as the “ground”.

The trim of Baker’s twine was braided and then knotted at short intervals. I love the texture.
