Hello everyone! Today I'm sharing the newest cutting die
set from
How fun is the new Spring Chicken Cutting Die Set! I just fell in
love with this rooster!!!! I mean, come on - who doesn't need a
hug from a rooster!!!!! 😆
Let me show you how I made my card!
First, I Google imaged roosters. I had a particular color way in my head,
but wasn't quite sure how far to go with my colors. I did find a really
good image with the colors I had envisioned. I laid out about 10
colors of Chroma Mists. I used Candy Apple Red, Yellow Orange,
Bumblebee Yellow, Blue Violet, Noble Fir, Leaf Green, Seaweed from
the Mermaid Mist Collection and Ornament Gold for shimmer. I cut
up a piece of cold pressed watercolor paper (90 lb) and smooshed the
Chroma Mists on.
I started die cutting all of my pretty papers. I used the brownish/red for his
head, the teal for his tail, the red for the comb and waddle and the orange/yellow
for his beak and feet.
I die cut the main body from black card stock and painted on a coat
of the Seaweed Chroma Mist to give the piece an overall shimmer and subtle color.
I pieced together my rooster...adding a bit of extra shimmer where I needed it
with a shimmer pen. I prepared my flat shaker base by taking a piece
of barn board paper in teal and cutting it to 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". I used a
piece of acetate from some packaging and made a flat shaker. I made my
sentiment by using a piece of smooshed yellow/orange paper for the
actual letters and the shadow from black card stock with the Seaweed
Mermaid Mist on it.
I adhered the base to a top folding A2 size card base in Warm Sunset card
stock and then adhered my rooster and sentiment to the front of the card.
I added Glossy Accents to the eyes and beak and my card was finished!
I love this rooster so much! I like the little chicks as well! You can
