Country Fresh

Paper Crafts Connection has a challenge each month with a different theme.  This month, it's "Country Fresh"!  I come from the generation that had "country" decorating, and I embraced it fully, still love it.  So I wanted to play along with this challenge.

My mind went right to the October Afternoon Farm Girl paper pad that I bought just after Christmas.  It has everything I needed for this card:

I chose several of the papers that I thought coordinated well, and fussy-cut this adorable little girl and popped her above my gingham panel.  The canning labels are included in the pad too; I chose a blank one and stamped my Hello inside using barn door distress ink.  The sentiment is from a Hero Arts set called Florentine Message Border - the size was just right.  I used my new Tim Holtz ruler to pierce "stitches" all around the card edges, and added some October Afternoon buttons, and my card was finished!
