Hayrack Ride Kids ClipartCompleted by Gwyneth George

I took two of the clipart items from this kit, together with one background from cup320434_11 and two from cup334424_927 into one of my graphics packages. I resized the "glittered" background to the size I wanted my final topper. Cropped and placed a piece of one of the other backgrounds accross the bottom of the first background, and punched a circle out of the other background and put it as a "sun" in position at the top right of the "glittered" background. I then resized and positioned the clip art items, giving them a slight drop shaddow. When I was happy with the finished topper design I printed it out onto Super Smooth cardstock and cut it out. This was matted first onto yellow cardstock and trimmed to leave a quarter of an inch border. The matted image was then layered onto a browny shade of cardstock and trimmed to leave an eighth of an inch border. I stuck this matted and layered image onto the front of an A5 base card made by scoreing and folding in half an A4 piece of deep yellow, dot embossed, cardstock.

These are cute characters and are sure to appeal to children, especially farm children who love their toy/peddle tractors.
