Design Team News and a Tractor Birthday Card

Time for some exciting news - I have been selected to continue on the Use It Tuesday design team as a member of Term 4!  We have a lot of fun exciting challenges coming up, and I hope you will join us in them!

And now for my most recent creation - a birthday card for a five year old that loves tractors!
I used MLS Simple Life for this one.  The farm papers are just perfect for a card for this little boy.  And the tractor stamp worked perfectly as well!  I stamped it using Stampin Up Wild Wasabi ink that my MIL got me for Christmas.  It is close enough to John Deer Green to keep this little guy happy.  And the sentiment is a Stampin Up stamp she also got me.
As for the design, it is based off of this month's sketch over at Artful Delights (ASC #28).  I love the simplicity of it - it made for a quick card for this little boy.

And just before I posted this I noticed one mistake - I didn't finish fussy cutting the popped up tractor!  There is extra white around the front wheel.  Oh well.  I don't know if they will notice.  I will just blame my kids wanting my "extra" tractor pieces while I was working on this card for it!
