Country Home: vintage style that’s on trend

The Country Home stamp set is one of my favorites from the Holiday catalog. It’s not exactly vintage and its not exactly rustic, but it is definitely on trend. It seems that every store I go into these days has milk cans and cotton plants!

I’ve made lots of cards with this set and this is one of my favorites.

Card featuring Country Home stamp set by Stampin' Up and designed by Paula Cannon, using watercolor technique.

With a tall image like this you can change up a basic layout with a simple square mat that doesn’t frame the focal image. For this card I used the coordinating Country Lane Designer Series Paper. I also used the DSP to inspire the colors in my foliage. For the milk can, I stayed on trend and kept it traditional with the smoky slate gray.
