Making the Home to Roost card

I started by taking a panel of Whisper White cardstock measuring 4½” by 3¼”. I rounded the upper right corner of the panel and stamped the ‘wheat’ image across the bottom in 1st and second generation So Saffron ink. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in Early Espresso ink…….looks like my ink pad needs re-inking. I wrapped a length of Nature’s Twine around the top of the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape and added a bow with the same twine.

This stamped layer was glued, with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to a layer of Wood Textures dsp measuring 4⅞” by 3⅝”. Before adhering I rounded the upper right corner of the Wood Texture dsp using the Detailed Trio Punch. I rounded the upper right corner of an Old Olive card base and added the stamped panel with the same glue.

I stamped the rooster in Early Espresso ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock. I coloured him in using the following Blends markers – Light Real Red, Pumpkin pie combo, Old Olive combo, Light Crumb Cake and Bronze. The coloured image was then fussy cut using my sharp scissors. The image was then added to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added a Whisper White panel (5⅜” by 3⅝”) to the inside of the card having stamped the wheat in one corner with So Saffron ink; I also rounded the upper right corner. I stamped the same image onto the front of a Whisper White envelope.
