When I saw the barn I knew I had to have it because it reminded me of an old fashion Christmas. Living in the Midwest the barn is very special. I remember as a child the countless times we returned to the farm for a very special Christmas.
The card I created is not hard but does take time. First of all, stamp the barn and color it. It does not need to be perfect as most barns have a worn look. Then you have the matter of using Puffy Paint. You drizzle it on cardstock and then use Stampin’ Up! Heat Tool. That is the same tool you use for heat embossing. I cut my cardstock to the size I wanted for the Puffy Paint. The idea is it will resemble snow which gives the perfect for this card. Can’t you imagine a sleigh ride over the snow?
Okay, I just noticed a couple of details need to be attended to, but I am not going to hold up this post. Can you spot them? One is the door is not colored and the other is I colored the windows with So Saffron to give the effect of light. When I did this card I did four barns. So I must have grabbed the one I missed these spots.
