CCNS90: Morning on the farm

 This week's challenge at CCNS is Black and Red with a rooster.  Frankly, this was a real challenge for me!  I did grow up in Arkansas and even had pet chickens but I can't say I ever made a rooster themed card.  But then I spotted the Impression Obsession Farm Girl die set from the online store and it was easy peasy!  :)

I started with a Darice honey comb embossing folder and black card base. I then used Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics A to trim a piece of red card stock for my angled layer.  I had some wood grain paper that I thought would look great as a barn background.  I ripped and sponged a white piece of card stock with  Evergreen Bough  and Walnut Stain to make it look like grass and dirt in front of the wood grain paper.  I cut out the Farm Girl die set out of white card stock and also out of red card stock.  I paper pieced her dress on her instead of coloring it all red.  I used my Copics to add shading and colors to all the pieces.  I later went back and used a white gel pen to add some details to her dress.  The fence and rooster is popped up with  small Joy! foam pads. I had to google a picture of a rooster in order to color it - what would we do without google? My duck would have been lost in the white background so I added a black bracket tab using MFT Blueprint 13 - it also helped balance the card.
