A Wheat Thank You

 I work as an enumerator for Nebraska Agricultural Statistics Service.

Every year in May I set out sample plots in wheat fields

in the southern panhandle, mostly in Cheyenne and Morrill counties.

This year I had 17 sample fields.

These are the thank you cards that I sent to all

the farmers that allowed me to set out plots in their

wheat fields and do counts and measures in those 

fields every month.

The beginning card base is 5.5 by 12 inches.

Scores are made at 2, 4, 8 and 10 inches.

The entire card, including the folds

was lightly inked with dark brown ink.

 

The wheat image is from Inkadinkadoo and is

embossed with a chocolate brown embossing powder.

It was cut with an oval Spellbinders die.  

Dark brown ink was sponged around the outer edge.

The wheat oval was then attached to a medium brown card stock,

trimmed to a narrow border with a deckle decorative scissors

and sponged with dark brown ink.

A shadow image of the wheat stalk was stamped

on the inside of the card and a small thank you 

just under the oval wheat image.
