Rooster Reveille

HAPPY STAR WARS DAY, friends!  Star Wars is my first fandom, I have a picture somewhere of 5-year-old me dressed up as Princess Leia and my little brother as Luke Skywalker.  Ryan and I are going to see The Phantom Menace in theaters this afternoon (how is that movie 25 years old?) and I'm wearing a Star Wars shirt and socks.  And I may have just bought some more Star Wars artwork...and more shirts ; )

Speaking of retail therapy, I was stalking my own front porch all day yesterday waiting for my SU! order to arrive...and it finally showed up during the 25 minutes I was gone to pick Ryan up from school.  So all I got to do so far was bust everything out and take a look at my new goodies.  While I was waiting yesterday morning, I made this card:

Hey Chuck just retired but those chickens will live forever in my stampy hoard.  I had to give two challenges another shot, starting with Cupcake Inspirations:

Once again, I used Flirty Flamingo, Pumpkin Pie, and Poppy Parade, and this time I didn't add any other colors except a bit of Pecan Pie for the skateboarding rooster.  And once again I paired the colors with the Sunday Stamps sketch:

I almost forgot the little flags on the sides, I had a strip all cut out and everything but I glued my watercolor layer down and couldn't get it up to add the strips, so I cut little bits off the ends and managed to squeeze them under the watercolor layer so I followed the sketch.

Okay, while Ryan is watching Ladybug and Cat Noir, I'm going to sneak upstairs and see if I can play with some new schtuff, or work on the scrapbook pages I started yesterday.  Cheers!
