The Roosters of Smithville

On our trip last weekend we spent a morning in Historic Smithville. Walking around the little village we went in and out of the shops there and happened upon these roosters. They were begging to have their picture taken.

I decided to use them as an inspiration for the Limited Supply challenge for Friday - to stamp an image 3 times and crop it.

So here are my roosters.

The stamp set is Rustic Rooster and I stamped it in Basic Gray on Whisper White and used markers to color it. I punched them out with my oval punch and back them with Ridinghood Red scalloped ovals. The card base is Basic Gray, and then a layer of Ridinghood Red. I used a scrap of Basic Gray DSP and More Mustard torn on the diagonal for the next layer. The ribbon is Bravo Burgundy with a bow of Basic Gray Taffeta.

Oops - it seems I didn't read the directions carefully enough. We were only supposed to use brads or eyelets as our embellishment. Hope I don't get a ticket for using the ribbon!
