Beech Hill Farm Layout

I made this one for the Cricut Circle monthly contest and I had so much fun!  I got carried away with the inking and cuttlebug embossing.  The theme of the challenge was to make a background.  Now, I want to make more backgrounds (I am thinking of a Halloween scene....)

Anyway, here it is:

The hills with trees were cut from Pop Up Neighborhood.  I tweaked them a little with my gypsy so they'd stretch across the whole page.  The hill is SU Mellow Moss.  The dry grass along the bottom I hand cut from DCWV Safari stack paper. 

 These trees are SU Old Olive paper. I ran them though the Divine Swirls CB Folder than used the matching ink to highlight them.

These trees are SU Always Artichoke run through the Herringbone folder and adhered with pop dots for dimension.

The sun and moon combo came from Pop Up Neighborhood, as well.  I swirled a little SU Summer Sun ink over the sun and a little SU Bashful Blue over the cloud, after the cloud was put through the CB with the Divine Swirls folder.

I cut the rocks from Old West and used DCWV photo real paper. I used a lot of foam tape and layered the rocks, then added grass cut from Zooballoo in between the rock layers. The colors were Old Olive and Always Artichoke again.

The barn and gate were cut from Old West.  For the gate I used the fiskars wood grain embossing plate.  I inked it with SU Basic Brown and the paper is CM brown.  The barn was "weathered" with ink and even my husband noticed.  The sheep came from My World and he was covered with flock so he is good and woolly!
I cut open the barn doors and added a picture.  After I taped it all down, my daughter said I should have cut the window in the barn and put a chicken.  She's got some good ideas!

Thanks for looking!
