It's a party in the Hen House when Elvis the Rooster does his jailhouse rock! The time is exactly 11:28 and he has something to crow about! hehe
This one is loaded with all kinds of goodies from Tim Holtz. Love this Graphic 45 paper with the clocks too. Listing most of the sources here, because sometimes the information gets cut off in the upload. I don't know why.
The birdcage was die cut from fun foam. I glued shimmer brown cardstock (found at Michael's - Christmas section) to the fun foam and let it dry before running it through my Cuttlebug.
Rooster Silhouette is a free svg. file (from internet) using my Cricut and Sure Cuts A Lot program. Added a few tailfeathers. Elvis has to have tailfeathers to strut ya know! hehe The small rooster is a punch by Marvy Uchida.
Clock faces are punched (EK Success circle punch) from Tim Holtz Lost and Found Paper and Graphic 45 Paper. One of the clock faces is rubber stamped - clock hands are hand drawn with marker and ruler. A few clocks have (circle punched) transparencies on them for the "glass."
The typewriter and chair are Rub-Ons from Michael's. The typed message is computer generated. I cut a slit in the typewriter with an X-acto knife and glued from behind.
The large key and wings are Tim Holtz grungeboard sprayed with glimmer mist from Tattered Angels. The color is Coffee Shop - love that color because it has a coppery look.
I used gold cording to hang the bead danglies from the birdcage. I snagged some jewelry from the dollar store and deconstructed it. Treasures from the Dollar Store are great for this.
The Cuckoo Clock charm is from Hobby Lobby.
Lock and Key brads are by the Paper Studio.
Check out this link to a great video tutorial here on SCS showing how to make this card. Scroll down to the bottom of this page to find the video. Give it a try - it's a lot easier than it looks!
