Roosters Crow

I decided to combine a couple of challenges this week. I don't do that very often but for some reason they just seemed to be perfect together for what I had in mind. I wanted to use red instead of orange for the trim, but I wanted to use a gingham ribbon with this image and I only had gingham in orange. I combined the sketch from the CAS-ual Fridays challenge with the Less Is More challenge to use silhouettes. With the cute sentiment, I think this will make a perfect thank you/friendship card for my friend that lives and works on a farm. She will love it as she raises chickens.

I used this Barn Top digital stamp from Stitchy Bear and finished off the rooster with some Glossy Accents.

Go check out both challenges and see what you can come up with!
