Easter...BasicGrey Challenge.

Hi...hope you are doing ok?
when i was making this card i was
thinking of those bright Spring sunny mornings
which we will have soon..
loved making it..i have used some of
for our new Challenge at BasicGrey 
 which is a card/project for Easter...


love this Magnolia rooster
even though i have coloured it a bit dark,
the trees,fence and sentiment are also Magnolia stamps.
i have coloured with distress markers,did
a bit of fake stitching and distressing.
the dotty orange card has been embossed
with Cricut Cuttlebug folder-Chicken wire and border
and sanded it lightly.
also used TH decorative strip alphabet for wording,
vintage lace die
and a new Joy Craft Die-vintage flourishes
a couple of brads and BG button...

We have our wonderful sponsor..
Simon Says Stamp


 
 and one very lucky person
will win a fab $25 shopping spree...

 

we really love to see your BasicGrey creations,
please remember you must use at least one
BG product to be in with a chance to win...

i would like to enter..
Tilda's Town Challenge-"Think Spring"

    I just love everything about this card, all the details are fab! Don't worry about colouring the rooster 'dark' they come in all colours..I have honey, black, speckled and grey hens running around our garden as I write and I think your colours are perfect for this card, Carole Z X
