The Creative Crew Tackles National Poultry Day!

 Carol is our host for the March Creative Crew Challenge. She informed us that March has a National Poultry Day on the 19th.  Who knew? Not me!

She gave us the "Rustic Rooster" image by Stampin' Up and designer papers from The Paper Studio's "Country Road" pack.

I really like the papers from Carol's kit.  The brick paper was especially realistic.

The papers are mounted on Close To Cocoa card stock by Stampin' Up.  Probably my all time favorite color!  

I embellished with some brown gems and blue ribbon from my stash.

The image is colored with Castle Premium Soft Touch pencils and leftover inks on yellow and green blending brushes were used for the background.  The edge of the die cut has a bit of brown applied with a blender brush.

Here's a closer look at the brick paper and the rooster.

Carol, thanks so much for a great kit this month! The card really seemed to come together easily (once I looked up how to color the rooster, hahaha)
