What: FQGS #4 Reminder Post

When: Midway Point is May 21 and #4 ends on June 5 at 1am CT/Chicago. 

-------------------------------------------

DT inspiration from Guest DT (Blue Ribbon Winner from March 7-April 5th #3 challenge)  for May 21 is Lynn 

[Background: FarmQuest General Store challenge blog competition #4 is still open for deliveries of your submitted projects (1-5 new AF/CG themed) until very early on June 5, 2023. Any rural, outdoors, woods, country kind of projects made between May 7-June 5 can be entered.]

We are excited that our #2 competition had over 25 entries so a Blue Ribbon Winner was picked and offered the chance to Guest Design for this reminder post. 

Say howdy to Lynn: " I'm a Texan and even though I've always lived in the country, I'm considered a city dweller now I guess.  I really miss that good old country living!  I've been making cards for quite a few years and am so excited to be a guest designer for this wonderful new challenge blog." 

Farm-tastic, isn't it!?!!!

[AF/CG elements: barn siding paper, twine, farmer gal, rancher/cowboy, 'yeehaw']

The cowboy and cowgirl are stamps from Art Impression and are colored in Copic markers.  They are stamped, cut out, popped up on dimensionals, and then mounted on a die cut oval of patterned paper.  This is all mounted to the wood grain background paper and the sentiment is from Close to My Heart.  A die cut star and bit of twine were added to the card.
