Benzi (Brenda) was the Stampin’B’s challenge hostess today; and, in honor of International No-Diet Day, she asked us to make a card with food or drink on it. It just so happens that the new MFP set Chicken Scratch has food (chicken image and egg on a sentiment).
To make the upper left-hand side of the background, I stamped the chicken wire background stamp onto some MFP Corn Husk card stock. I had to match up the pattern because it didn’t fill up the entire piece of paper. The lower right-hand piece is some DP from the DCWV Photo 2 stack. Then I taped them together and attached them to a piece of MFP Ripened Tomato and ran a piece of ribbon diagonally over the seam. The main image and two sentiments are stamped on MFP Snow Storm Smooth; the chicken image is colored with Copic markers. After mounting everything on the card, I added a piece of red twine and tied in the rooster charm.
After Googling “rooster” on the internet, I tried to color my rooster to match the image I found. I think he’s pretty close. I used Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol, and then sponged around the edge of the panel. The cross piece is again the chicken wire background; the herringbone DP is from Basic Grey’s Nook & Pantry paper pad. The card base and matted pieces are MFP Deepest Mahogany; the two small diamond shapes are Spring Leaf. I added a sparkly charm to the lower one.
Don’t forget -- For another chance to win a free stamp set, be sure to visit the blogs of the rest of the design team and comment on each.
