Freshly Made Sketches #740

Hello friends.  Playing along with the gals over at the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge hosted by my sweet friend Michele, and she has a fun scene sketch for us to follow!

CAS and easy to follow, right?!  My card isn't exactly CAS, but I don't think Michele will mind as it really does follow the sketch. Well kinda. Take a look and see what you think...

I made this card quite a while ago but never had a chance to post it.  When I saw Michele's sketch, and Donna's card, I knew this cutie patootie Rooster from PTI would be a perfect fit!!  The background is stenciled using an older set of stencils from The Greetery called Stencil Scapes: Autumn. I used brighter colors to make the background more Summery than Autumn like, and decided it was a bit too bright and busy looking to add the rooster to, so I added a piece of vellum over the background to mute it a bit before adding my rooster.

The Rooster bundle (dies & stencils) comes with 3 stencils, but I used a Gina K stencil called Ornamental Fans and Real Red & Cherry Cobbler inks (SU!) and then used foam tape on the back to give him some dimensions over the vellum background.  The sentiment is from Gina K's So Many Sentiments and fit perfectly in the white space before I added the vellum.  I loved the way this card came out and hope the DT doesn't think I've strayed too far from the sketch!

Check out the marvelous cards from Michele and the rest of the DT right HERE and then play along!  This challenge is open till Monday, June 15th @ 3:00PM.
 

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
