OUR CREATIVE CORNER ~ A Sketch & A Prize!!!!!

Good Morning!
This month's OCC Challenges are brought to you by Julee Tilman!!! She has giving us an awesome sketch to work with! Not only is there a great sketch but we have Alma, who is the fearless leader of The Cat's Pajama's Rubber Stamps AND she has given us a couple of awesome stamps to give away! You can check out ALL the details HERE!!!

Don't tell Julee that I didn't follow her sketch EXACTLY!!! LOL!! I could not find 3 little pieces of ribbon that went with my card for the top so I added the library clip and Saffron floral ribbon. The base of my card is Basic Black with a mat of Riding Hood Red and then on the top portion some awesome floral paper I got back in the Summer by Bo Bunny. The strip under the image is first Whisper White which I punched the edges using my SU! scallop punch and then added a thin mat of Basic Black and then the decorative Bo Bunny black and white checkered paper. I added the same Saffron ribbon just under the image and then before adhering this strip down, I added a small strip of Saffron cardstock at the bottom.

The "herd" of chicks were stamped on Whisper White using Basic Black ink. All of the images are from the SU! Best of Cluck set. I colored the "herd" using a blender pen and Saffron & Caramel ink pads. I then added the chicken wire from Making Memories behind my black frame which I cut out using my square Nesties. I then matted it on Saffron cardstock. The chicken on the outside was colored with my Real Red and Saffron ink pads & blender pen. I added black dots with a black marker and then added Sunflower Shimmerz on top of the red and saffron areas because you HAVE to HAVE glitter somewhere!!! I cut her out and used my quickie glue pen to glue her down on the outside of the coop. The sentiment was stamped on Whisper White using Basic Black ink. I then stamped the chicken feet on top of the sentiment using Saffron ink, punched it out using my 1 1/4" punch and then matted it on a Riding Hood Red circle I punched using my 1 3/8" circle punch. I mounted both the coop and sentiment using dimensionals!
