\n<\/a>\"Whats
\n<\/a><\/strong>Isn’t this a fabulous rooster<\/strong><\/span> image? I just love it & it’s so fun to color. I knew roosters have a lot of color, but until I did an image search, I didn’t realize just how colorful they are! I used my Misti to stamp my rooster w\/ Memento then colored him with Copics. Since it was still in the Misti, I stamped over him using Versafine & the details just popped! Then I did what turned out to be a tricky die cutting on the image by cutting only the top half w\/ a pierced circle and only the bottom half w\/ a pierced square. I like how it turned out. For the top background, again I used the Misti to stamp the wonderful Bandana<\/span><\/strong> image onto kraft card stock then used a white gel pen to add some tracings around the image.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s a look at the inside.<\/span>

\n<\/a>My second card uses this fabulous new Hot Air Balloon Reverse die<\/a><\/strong><\/span>! I’m over the moon with it! At first I was going to put some designer paper behind it, but changed my mind and made a brayered background for it. I had a leftover piece of matte coated card stock (it really soaks up the ink) & after brayering it, I masked the center & stamped the edge of Wood Background<\/a><\/strong><\/span> image with black ink then I sprayed it w\/ a matte acrylic sealer because this matte coat paper is a little fussy & I wanted the ink to stay put.
\n\"Soaring
\n<\/a>I\u00a0attached the white die cut onto a second die cut & then some pieces of thick card stock to elevate it above the background. The greeting<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0was stamped in the lower right & some sequins added for sparkle. Here’s the inside.
