Something to Crow About


Oh boy, did I have fun with this card! I used three different sets from Doodle Pantry to create this scene. I used the brand new set Rooster, and two older sets Old Barn and Wagon Wheel. Because I wanted to use the colored versions of each of these images, I had to remove a couple of things using my computer software Fireworks. I removed the grass and sky from the Old Barn, the sky from the Wagon Wheel and the piece of board from the Rooster. I didn't have to do anything about seeing the outline of the grass on the Old Barn because the fence covered it up nicely. Although I used all pre-colored images, I did need to color the ground behind the fence and because I used the wrong color, it matched the fence too closely, so I needed to darken the fence a little bit. I just love the way this scene came out. I added the sentiment and a little bit of black bling then layered it on black, cherry cobbler and white card stock.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:
