A Rooster’s Birthday

Rooster Birthday Wishes crop

When it came time to make a birthday card for my DSIL, I was at a loss.

I thought I could surely use something from one of my Kittie Kits, but alas, he’s not much of a farm type person.  Then I remembered this post from Sherry, and decided to go with her great idea!  I used this weeks CPS sketch - CPS113 too!

Rooster Birthday Wishes

This little guy was watercolored using SU markers and a blender pen and cut out using a Labels One Nestabilities die (on sale right now at Rubbernecker).  Copper brads and a Tim Holtz trinket pin were added.

Now I just need to decide what I’ll use as an inside sentiment!!  Maybe “How’s it crowing?” or “It’s your birthday!  Strut your stuff!”  What do you think?  Any suggestions?

Thanks for stopping by again!  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!
