What a fun time I had with this TSC! We were to make a card with a Chicken on it. I searched through all my stamps and FINALLY came across the only two poultry related ones in my collection. So, I made two cards for this challenge. This is the 2nd card I made. I'm sorry I cannot remember the manufacturer of this clear stamp but I got it on the discount isle at Big Lots. Basically used scraps just to see what I could do with stuff purchased at Big Lots. This image was solid but I wanted color so I smeared on various inks using SU Color Spots (or Dots, can't remember which is correct). For added fun, I drew in some chicken tracks around the border and added some thought dots to help show the Rooster is shouting the sentiment. Some Yellow flowers were just laying there so they got incorporated too. Too much yellow so I took a red marker and toned it down a bit. I used two different nesties; one to cut out the main image and another tabs N label die to hold the clear tab sentitment. Once I got it glued down I decided I didn't like it. Oh well...........

Love your bright sunrise colors! At first glance I thought his tail was the sun coming up behind your rooster... tail or sunrise, I love it! Love his 'song' of rhinestones and the cute chicken tracks border.

Love this french country rooster, crowing to beat the band. I really like the bright vivid colors and your pretty flower arrangement. Great job on the chicken tracks, I can't draw them, not so talented here.

This is special! Those tracks are great, that flower is wonderful, but that Rooster is magnificent. I can tell his call would wake the neighborhood!
