I used the very cute Ruffle Your Feathers from the Technique Junkies May Stamp release. The rooster was colored with my Copic markers. I added a few sequin type embellishments to the focal image.
The background paper was created from a piece of 8x8 inch paper commercially available from a "big box store." I sprayed several colors of Distress Chalk ink sprays. I have learned that spraying over some type of background paper gives you a more interesting look than just spraying over plain white card stock. At least I liked it better. Then I used several stencils here and there over the sprays. I used Lace Doily Stencil, Wispy Vines Stencil, and an Art Anthology Stencil called Dot Matrix.
Then I added ink here and there to the Technique Junkies French Text. I stamped the randomly inked areas here and there on the background.
The burlap ribbon is really straight, I just have a hard time taking an absolutely straight picture!
Pat Huntoon is offering this very fun stamp for free! The Make a Wish stamp is free with a $30 purchase (before taxes) - this cannot be purchased in May, it’s only available as free with purchase.
Have a wonderful day -- and make some time to get inky!!
