Thank You Cards

Here are some of the the thank you cards I made after my recent birthday.

This first card is a CASE of this card by Melissa Bickford.  I think it is the card that sold me on the Lighten Up set.

This next card uses this week's Retro Sketch #10,  and a brand new Spellbinders Edgeabilities die--thanks Cathy.

Of course, my friend the naughty rooster had to pop up here, too.  He is such a show stealer, jumping and crowing onto nearly every card these days.

Waltzingmouse April 2012 Blog Party

Have you ever been surprised by a stamp set?  I bought  French Country a few weeks ago solely on the basis of the beautiful border stamp.  However, since I have received that set in the mail, I have done nothing but stamp roosters.  I never even noticed the roosters when I ordered the set, and now, I can't seem to get enough of them.  Has that ever happened to you?

I've got a super simple card featuring this naughty rooster for this month's Waltzingmouse Blog Party.  The theme this month is "New Beginnings", and I immediately thought of the saying "Today is the first day of the rest of your life"  So, today's card celebrates the start of another great day.

Supplies Used:

Stamps:  WM French Country, Chicken Wire

Paper:  PTI White, Pure Poppy

Ink:  PTI Pure Poppy, Versafine Onyx Black
