Scratch! from Art Impressions

Hello Ai fans!

I guess I should clean up my pile of scrap paper more often.  I was rummaging through it the other day and came across a half finished card.  I had started making a duplicate of THIS card and apparently never finished.  I changed things up a bit and came up with what you see here.

My card features...( Scratch (Sku#T1833), Sm. Scratch (Sku#I1868)

Art Impressions Challenge #24 BIRDS

Welcome to another Art Impressions challenge.

This week we are using birds on our projects!

This was one of the first AI stamps that I ever bought and 

I still love him!!  He's called Scratch.  I've used small Scratch but

there is a larger version of him too.  The Chick magnet sentiment can be found HERE.

I've used the sketch from Sunday Sketch and Stamp for my layout.

I've used some Spellbinders dies: circles, labels.

The fence is cut from a Sizzix yellow die.

The embossing was done with a Cuttlebug folder.

The corner is painted with Tim Holtz Distressed Crackle Paint. (fired brick)

Scratch is colored with Copic markers...

I can't wait to see all of your wonderful creations!

Cocktails Anyone?

Believe it or not this stamp and phrase were only $1 st JoAnn's!! It was too cute to pass up. I've been selling some handmade items at a local liquor store and this set certainly fit the profile! I colored the roosters with watercolor pencils and I thought the bandanna type paper reminded me of a farm so I thought it went well. The store called me the other day and said people are already requesting holiday cards/tags/wine charms etc. so I need to get busy this weekend and fill the void. I'm hoping to do some cute Thanksgiving cards over the next few days so maybe I'll sell enough to cover the cost of wine when we host dinner! Wouldn't THAT be nice!
