FQCB Theme #12 Main Post Inspiration Project and an Extra Bonus

 Howdy! FarmQuest's Theme #12 started September 14th. 

I've been so busy with teaching kindergarten this past week and having some other DT commitments, I am just now taking some time on the weekend to get a post ready for the 19th and to also include an extra bonus card for theme #12 made on Sunday afternoon. The gold glitter tempera paint in the windows had to dry for several hours, so I didn't scan it until about midnight of 18th/19th.  

Theme #12 has 2 options: porch furniture and/or quilt(s). You've got to have at least 1 of those topic images shown on your submitted entry(entries). 

Here's what was showcased on September 14th in the reveal posting for Theme #12=

This comfy cozy card has a bench die-cut and a scrap piece of a checkered paper to act as a faux quilt draped onto the bench. 

Simple Stories' card kit provided all of the items except that faux quilt kraft and black checkered scrap paper. 

and the EXTRA BONUS card made Sunday Sept 18th and scanned around midnight of 18th/19th=

*Carta Bella's Farm to Table Ephemera Pack= sentiment tag and the rocker w/ quilt round die-cut

*Dollar Tree= gold glitter tempera paint for the windows; house shaped mirror (sold in a set of 3); and the 'barn siding' is a section of a vinyl wallpaper sheet
