Happy Friday, y'all! I'm hoping I get to sleep in tomorrow...seems like all week I've been waking up around 4:30 in the morning and not been able to get back to sleep. Um, I need that extra hour! I feel like 5:30 is quite early enough to be getting up, thankyouverymuch. And today's card features a couple of rather judgy chickens.
I'll rise, but I won't shine : p Chickens always make me think of my great-grandmother's house. She didn't have chickens, but her next-door neighbors did, so chickens are forever linked in my mind to Mimi's house. Check out this week's Freshly Made Sketch:
And the Color Throwdown:
I used Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, and Cherry Cobbler, and at the last minute remembered to toss a couple of gold sequins on my card front.
Confession time: I loved the sketch and the colors, but it took me AGES to figure out how to combine them this week! I actually made a completely different card first, using the colors but not the sketch; I may post that one tomorrow. I went through my current stamps a couple of times and nothing was coming to me...I kept thinking leaves but I don't have any current fall leaf sets, and I kinda wanted to use newer stamps. Then I finally noticed Hey Chuck, which hadn't even been inked up yet, and then this card happened pretty fast--turns out those bright fall colors are also great for judgy chickens!
That's it for me today, peeps. Have a good Friday!
Supplies, all SU!
Stamps: Hey Chuck
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Stampin' Blends in Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Cherry Cobbler, Pecan Pie
Paper: Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie, Thick Basic White, Pumpkin Pie DSP

I totally love those guys and what a fun layout with one of them standing on the sentiment! Thank you for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.

ReplyDeleteSuch a fun card. You did a great job combining both the sketch and the colors. I admit I also struggled with the colors and how to combine them together. Those chickens crack me up.
