For this week's challenge we were given another fabulous sketch by Karin Akesdotter! I wanted a "thinkin' about ya" card for a friend who recently finished chemo and is still have lots of side effects. She loves to cook so I used this bright paper from Cosmo Cricket as a base for her card. I started by stamping a piece of Vintage Cream cardstock with the smallest Chicken Wire pattern. I wasn't planning on all the layers but just kept adding more as I went along--there are seven in all! I used two PTI dies for the focal point--Seed Packet Frame 2 die and Button Card die. Then for a bit more green I cut a slightly larger rectangle and rounded the corners. A circle punch was used to cut the corners of the patterned paper. The rooster and sentiment are from my wonderful French Country set! It might be a little hard to see but to finish the top, I wove a piece of green twine through the lace.
So happy that you took time to visit! Today has been pretty miserable with the horrid heat and I so feel fortunate that I even got my card done! By afternoon we finally broke down and turned on our air conditioner! I know--it seems silly to try to hold out regardless of how uncomfortable we are!! But it feels wonderful now---so no regrets!
Have a great weekend!
Sharron

Such a bright and cheery card for your friend. That rooster finds his way everywhere, doesn't he? I love him with that fun vegetable paper. Very cute touch to thread the twine through the lace. Makes me think of curtains.
