Well this is my 2nd post today, I have got to learn how this works (blogging) because it is taking me a lot of time just to get back to my blog sight to enter my next blog. But I am determined to learn how this works. I believe you can teach and old dog new tricks (LOL).
The card base above is Riding Hood Red and is distressed by tearing the bottom of the front of the card and then using my Basis Brown ink pad to antique the edges (it is also sponged on the piece with the rooster stamped on it). The rooster from SS Rustic Rooster is stamped on Very Vanilla CS with the Black StazOn Ink Pad because I used my water color pencils to color the rooster and the blender pen to finish it. The StazOn Ink Pad will not smear when used with the blender pen. The scalloped piece coming out from behind the rooster is made with Chocolate Chip CS and the SU Eyelet Border Punch (isn't it beautiful). All the stamps are SU except the greeting; it and the background paper are from HL, I think. All the green on the card are in SU Old Olive.
I had to get a little creative to make the two little accents on the left edge of the card. The CC piece at the top is an outty corner from punching a SU Scalloped Square and the tab on the side is made by putting a small strip of paper in my corner rounder to round the ends then I used to antique brass brads to attach it to the front of the card and the adhered it with adhesive on the back. I thought it was funny that my husband, who usually gives words of praise for my creations, didn't like this card until I added these last two little accents.
