French Country Rooster

I absolutely love this retired "Roosting" set from Stampin' Up. It is one set that I will never part with! I used this rooster image to case a design from Splitcoaststamper's Featured Stamper challenge, which is held every Sunday. Laura Fredrickson (ScrapNExtras) was the stamper that was featured the week that this was made. Her card is here. Be sure to visit Laura's blog: Scrapnextras. Thanks so much for all of the inspiration Laura!

I began with a cardstock base of SU Summer Sun cardstock, layering it with red and print decorator paper by K & Company (Wild Saffron). The prints in this pad of K & Co. just scream French Country to me! I purchased my pad from Michael's.

My image was stamped onto PaperTrey Stamper's Select white with Adirondack Pitch Black ink, then colored with numerous Copic markers. Spellbinder Rectangle dies were used to cut the image panel.

HodgePodge Hardware (SU retired also), Michael's brads, and a piece of ribbon finish off this design. I hope that you like this "Oldie But Goodie!"
