Roxie gave us another wonderful sketch, perfect for border punches. I decided to use some older sets (some uninked) and some older In Colors. Stamped the text from Rustic Rooster in Wild Honey on GKD Sweet Corn after stamping off once. Overstamped the rooster in Cranberry Crisp, the grapes from Fruit Stand in Vintage Violet and the Fleur de Lis from Timeworn Trim in True Thyme. Sponged just the edges in Thyme. Stamped the still life from Studio Sketches in Violet on PTI Cream, cut with Nestie, sponged with Wild Honey then the edges with Thyme. Border cut Serendipity Plum with a Nestie, then mounted on A cream card that had been randomly stamped with the fleur-de-lis in Thyme. Added the image panel and the PC generated sentiment (flourish from Rooster stamped in honey BG) that was matted with Bazzil textured CS. Sponged the edges of the card with Honey.
Thank you so much for looking...hope you enjoyed the SU memories. Have a peaceful day.

What a lovely French country feeling your card has. I like the dulled lavender with the red and natural as colors. Beautiful design in your punched border.

This is really funny - not only did we use a "rooster" as our image but I started out to use that same border, then switched at the last minute. Great minds, you know!
