Rustic Rooster

I finally found time to play with this new set - Rustic Rooster.  It's a Level 2 hostess set in the new Stampin' Up! catalog.  I love it - I wish SU made more stamps in this style. 

This is a 6" x 6" card and I used the sketch on today's SCS challenge for the layout.  The technique is called Faux Designer Paper and it appears in this month's issue of Technique Junkie Newsletter.

1. I stamped several images (those that appear white) with Versamark and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. 
2. I sponged various colors of dye ink onto vanilla c/stock and overs tamped more images in those same colors.  (The clear embossed areas resisted the ink). 
3. The clear embossing powder was removed by placing a piece of copy paper over the top and heating with an iron. 
4. Finally, the rooster was stamped on top with black Stazon and the edges sponged with more of the same colors.

Here's a closer look:

Recipe:

• Stamps: Rustic Rooster
• C/stock: close to cocoa & really rust textured, very vanilla, chocolate chip, patterned paper by My Mind's Eye.
• Ink: more mustard, riding hood red, chocolate chip, really rust, black Stazon, Versamark
• Accessories: vintage eyelets, twill tape, clear embossing powder
• Tools: heat gun, cropadile, photo corner punch, iron, sponge

Okay, girl, I loved your project so much, I sort of CASED it. It was a huge hit with my swap group, and I'm sure it will be a big hit with my Hostess club coming it.
