Create With Stamping Friends-Inspiration Monday 409

Tractor & Co Bundle and Christmas Tags & More!

Welcome to our Create With Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges.  This week’s inspiration challenge is right up my alley:

I am one of those girls that drives a tractor. I use my tractor a lot during the summer months because I have 2 acres of property to take care of, lots of flower beds and a veggie garden. During the winter months, my tractor is what I use to clear a very long driveway of snow with an attached snowblower and a scraper blade on the back. You should see me go!

Although my tractor is an orange Kubota, today’s card features a red tractor just like the inspiration photo:

I even added three layers of torn cardstock snow layers and on the torn edges, I colored in some Wink Of Stella Clear Glitter Brush. It sparkles in real life!
