Hello, it is Diana today! This
week's challenge at CCNS is Black and Red with a Rooster. Frankly,
this was a real challenge for me! I did grow up in Arkansas and even
had pet chickens, but I can't say I ever made a rooster themed card. But
then I spotted the Impression Obsession Farm Girl die set, from the online store and it was easy peasy! :)
I started with a Darice honey comb embossing folder and black card base. I then used Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics A to trim a piece of red card stock for my angled layer.
I
had some wood grain paper that I thought would look great as a barn
background. I ripped and sponged a white piece of card stock, with Evergreen Bough Distress Stain and Walnut Stain Distress Ink Marker, to make it look like grass and dirt in front of the wood grain paper.
I cut out the Farm Girl die
set out of white card stock, and also out of red card stock. I paper
pieced her dress on her instead of coloring it all red. I used markers to add shading and colors to all the pieces. I later went back
and used a white gel pen to add some details to her dress. The fence
and rooster is popped up with Joy! Small Foam Pads.
I
had to google a picture of a rooster in order to color it - what would
we do without google? My duck would have been lost in the white
background, so I added a black bracket tab using MFT Blueprints 13 - it also helped balance the card.
Thank you so much for looking, and hope you can play along this week!
