Home to Roost - Roo has a Friend

I introduced you to Roo in the last post here.  He was alone there, but in today's card he has a friend.

The base card stock for this card is Old Olive layered with Whisper White.

Using the stamparatus, the cluster of wheat stamp was coloured with a Mossy Meadow and Crushed Curry markers and peg stamped across the width of the Whisper White layer.

The checkboard DSP is from the SAB Botanical Butterfly DSP.  Two different sizes of Stitched Rectangle framelits was used to die cut the DSP into an outer frame.  This frame is slightly smaller than the width of the Whisper White  allowing the clusters of wheat to show outside the frame.

The two roosters were stamped on a separate piece of Whisper White and coloured with various colours of Stampin' Blends - each bird coloured slightly differently.
They were then fussy cut and added to the card front as shown in the picture.

A small Balmy Blue butterfly, punched from the Botanical Butterfly DSP using the Butterfly Duet punch, was added to the top left just below the sentiment.

Supplies Used:
Stamp:  Home to Roost
Inks:  Black Memento, Stampin' Blends ( Bird 1: Cherry Cobbler, Cajun Craze, Soft Suede, Bermuda Bay  - Bird 2: In addition to same colours as Bird 1 Crushed Curry was used), Stampin' Markers (Mossy Meadow and Crushed Curry)
Papers:  Old Olive, Whisper White, Botanical Butterfly Gala DSP
Accessories:  Stamparatus, Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Butterfly Duet punch

Home to Roost - Enjoy the Simple Moments

Another stamp set free with a $60 order is  "Home to Roost" , starring Roo the rooster (I just made that name up)

This rooster looks ready to tackle the world, and the bright colours of his plumage definitely make a statement.

He was coloured with a variety of Stampin' blends, then die cut with a Stitched Oval framelit.  Behind the stitched framelit is a slightly larger Grapefruit Grove foil oval (you probably recognized this Halographic foil).

Because Roo is a little bit country, the Buffalo Check stamp was used to create the Cajun Craze plaid DSP at the card front bottom.  A strip of the foil is placed at the top of the plaid piece.

Peeking out above the plaid piece is some wheat greenery. This was stamped in Old Olive on a piece of Whisper White and then die cut with the Rectangle framelits.

All this on a Cajun Craze cardstock base layered with Whisper White.  "Enjoy the simple moments"
