I hope everyone had a super Mother’s Day yesterday. I know I did. My tw0 Sons & my Future Daughter-n-Law, Jamie came over and cooked my Mother and me a fantastic Steak dinner, with just a bit of help from my Husband, Russ. It was yummy and was all the better because we were all together sharing it. The only thing missing was my Sister who resides in Colorado. Sis, hope your Mother’s Day was fantastic!
Now about today’s piece.
I love this Rooster from Stampin’ Up’s Hostess set “Rustic Rooster”. This set has all the elements to make a French Country Style card.
Let’s get started. 🙂

Loaded my Rooster Stamp with Versamark, patted the my Really Rust Colored ink pad on the rooster’s head, loaded the rest of the stamp with Close to Cocoa ink before stamping the image on a 3.5″ square piece of Whisper White card stock.
Heat embossed the image using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.
Added Certainly Celery marker to the Rooster.
Added a bit of Handsome Hunter marker.
Added More Mustard Marker.
Added Creamy Caramel marker to his neck area.
Added Really Rust Marker over some of the More Mustard marker.
Added Close to Cocoa marker.
Added just a touch of Chocolate Chip marker over the Close to Cocoa marker.
Carefully patted the excess marker off of the embossed areas of the Rooster with an old Cotton cloth. Be careful with this step. Try not to smear the ink from one area of the Rooster to the next.
Colored over the Rooster with a Versamark Marker and then heat embossed it with clear embossing powder and a heat gun.
Sponged Creamy Caramel ink on the card stock working from the outside edge with a circular motion and moving into the center so the outside edge is darkest and the inside of the card stock is very light in color.
Added Apricot Appeal ink with a sponge working in a circular motion around the edge of the card stock.
Stamped the Flourish with Creamy Caramel ink around the edge of the card stock.
Stamped the leaves from the Stampin’ Up Lexicon of Leaves set at the bottom of the card stock with Handsome Hunter ink.
Colored the leaves in with the Certainly Celery marker.
Sponged Chocolate Chip ink around the very edges of the card stock.
Stamped the french writing stamp with Handsome Hunter ink over the entire card stock by first stamping off on my scrap paper first so it would not be very dark.
Cut my panels and sponged Chocolate Chip ink around the outside edges of them. Assembled the card adding ribbon and brads.
Here is the finished card measuring 5″ x 6.5″.
Hope your day today is filled with joy and laughter.
Until my next post. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
