CCC #67... a little country

Hello friends!!   Wow... Tuesday has rolled around once, again.  Halloween is right around the corner... time sure is flying by!  Lots of fabulous pumpkin projects were to be found in last week's gallery and I know that there will be lots more based on this week's cue word of "country".   Joining us in the guest designing spot this week is not one, but TWO fabulous designers Hannelie and Lori!!  And we have a fabulous sponsor... you can find all the details here.

Have to admit I really had to think about this week's cue word, but then all of the sudden an idea hit me.  Some of the things that I think of when I think of the country are weather twiggy wreaths and rusty stars hanging on houses and barns.  So I pulled out my Memory Box bramble wreath die and combined it with a little "rusty" red star to create my little wreath.   I die cut three wreaths from kraft cardstock and then I layered them on some PTI Rustic Cream cardstock.  I stamped the sentiment (from the PTI set Fancy Folk Art) inside using Close to My Heart's Barn Red ink.  I had this strip of cream muslin that I tied into a bow and adhered to the wreath.  I finished off the wreath with a little star (die cut using the PTI Tiny Tags die) that had been stamped with the corresponding star image (PTI Tiny Tags) using Barn Red ink.  A little red button was added to the center of the star and I was done.    I just love that little muslin bow as it really added a nice homespun slightly shabby feeling to an otherwise very clean design.

Thanks for stopping by...I cannot wait to see where this week's "country" cue word take you!  In the meantime make sure you check out the cards from the rest of the design team: Melissa, Judy, Meghan, Ardyth, Gillian, Maureen, Kimberly, Jen , Tracey and guest designer, Hannelie.
