Farmhouse Greetings

Hello friends, welcome and thank for stopping by!!  You know if this was in real life I would have a hot brewed coffee waiting for you - or tea if that is your preference.  My husband upcycles furniture and does a fabulous job with it - this means I live in an every changing house LOL!  Some of the pieces are so beautiful and just have to stay with us - the latest pieces are a very 'French Farmhouse' look - who doesn't love that.  It did remind me of an older Layers of Color stamp....how perfect is that Rooster Topiary!?


I started by stamping the Rooster onto texture card stock using Imagine Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black Ink. Next the image was coloured using Chameleon Pens, and layered onto slightly larger Maroon card stock.

 , 
Narrow green checked ribbon has been wrapped around patterned paper from my stash, the layered image has been adhered using double sided tape and adhered to slightly larger dark green card stock.


For my card front I used a piece of garden wire/lattice to emboss white card stock.  I love to try different things but have a rule - don't force anything - the outcome could be lethal.  The embossed layer has been adhered to a slightly larger dark green card base, with the layered image adhered near the top of the card front.

I have cut/embossed the Honeycomb from the Spellbinders Die D-Lites Honey Bee Etched Dies using gold card stock.  This has been popped under the lower left corner of the layered image and glued into place.  The circle sentiment is from Fancy Pants and has been popped up using Scrapboook Adhesives BY 3L 3D Foam Squares.
