Late this past Saturday night my husband had a special request for a Christmas card for his boss. His boss loves John Deere tractors and they use them daily for work, he has a collection of antique JD tractors and he also restores them. Of course my creative brain went into overdrive. A masculine card, with a tractor and Christmas themed....uh boy - I have my work cut out for me! Gulp!
Thankfully, High Hopes Rubber Stamps has two tractors in their stamp line up - now I just had to wait for him to choose which one he wanted me to use. Oh and did I mention he wants to give it to him at his Christmas party next Saturday? Hubby chose the antique style tractor and this is the card I came up with. Here's hoping the boss likes it!
I did some creative masking (the stamp comes with flowers by the wheels) and stamped the tractor on alcohol marker friendly paper. After I hand drew a few of the lines to complete the wheels, I coloured the stamp with Copic alcohol markers and hand fussy cut it. I followed the same process with the Farm Background stamp as I didn't want the whole scene in the stamp.
Once the colouring and fussy cutting was done, I die cut some snow banks using a hills die and layered them on my card base. Paper from Recollections was perfect for a snowy sky background behind the farm. Patterned paper from Memory Box was perfect for the 5.5" x 5.5" card base.
I added some twine under the scene, stamped the sentiment and added it to the card. Before adding the sentiment, I watered down some white paint and splattered it on the scene to create a "it's snowing" effect. Enamel dots finish off my card.

Hi friends!!!
Today, I am going to tell you something important about many diseases that are incurable through my personal experience.
My mother is 62 years old, and she has been suffering from Motor Neuron Disease (MND) since December 2018, the Doctors told us that there was no treatment for this disease. Everything was shattered until there came a ray of hope.
We got to know about Dr. Godsent Yare from Nigeria who has spiritual powers. He, with his herbal healing oil, herbal cream, herbal soap, roots, and herbs, can cure any incurable disease or virus. So we contacted him on WhatsApp and explained everything to him.
He is so kind and polite that he assured me that he would bring my mother back to life again. He promised me that within two weeks of treatment, we would be seeing great changes.
So I ordered medicine from him and after receiving medicines he told me how to use it for better results. We got medicine Nov.2019 and then we stated her treatment. I will show you what the medicines that cured my mother are.
I want to tell everyone in this world that if anyone is suffering from any kind of virus or any incurable disease, then please contact Dr. Godsent Yare. He is truly a Godly man who believes in roots and herbs. You can contact him by website: , email dryareherbalcurehome@gmail.com or whatsaap him: +2348164653711
Please visit his website for better knowledge and share this miraculous testimony to family, friends, and everyone everywhere to contact Dr. Yare.
Thanks for viewing.
