Mr. Strutter Is Almost Gone

The Hey, Chick is still strutting, but will soon be gone.  It is part of the free item in the Sale-a-Bration brochure with a $50 order.  Personnally, I think they are so cute. Of course, I may be partial because my kitchen is done in chickens. The background stamp has retired ….Ghoulish Grunge, but I do have a suggestion for you.  Use instead the *Hexagons embossing folder in the 2017 Occasions catalog.  Still need a catalog, email me at http://pamela@stampinpinkrose.com  click on the link on my blog page.  By doing this you will be on my list to get the new 2017-2018 Occasions Catalog coming out in June.

Remember this card can be used for any occasion.  You just change it up my using that special sentiment.

Challenge:  This is another challenge card.  I just love these because it get us thinking. Sometimes it is simple like todays and other times we need to think about. As you can tell by the picture, it is about the placement of the sentiment.  So think about the placement because sometimes it interferes with the image.  Here it is simply the look and it would work on any side of the circle.

Paper:  Once you have decided on your colors, then it is a matter of grabbing the coordinating card stock. I often choose to use the darkest on the bottom and the lightest next.  However, you need to keep in mind is your top sheet a color or white. When colored does it work with the color next to it or do you need a break between colors?

• Cajun Craze
• Daffodil Delight

Embellishment: Are you using an embellishment?  On this card I am using the Linen Thread because I want a twine that is subtle.

Accessories:  Modern Label (retired),  Layering Circles, Blender Pens, Big Shot, Trimmer
