WT650 - Rescue Me

This card started out HERE. I was thinking I needed to add something to the front card. It never quite worked for me.

I got this Whipper Snapper military image and thought this flag needed this image in front of it. Stamped the image and fussy cut him. He is colored with pencil and Gamsol. Popped him on dimensionals and finished the card off with some DP stars.

My friend Tonda Baldwin sent me these great boot images. I fussy cut this one and popped it on dimensionals. The focal layer is sponged with some red to get it to stand out on the card. Used up some scraps for the rest of the card and tied some ribbon over the red lacy border that was die cut with a ODBD die cut. Finished off with some DP flowers and the sentiment from Unity.

Stamped the sentiment and die cut. Punched a bunch of scraps in the colors of the rainbow and put on the CS. Then ran it through with an EF. Finished off with a few music notes and the sentiment of Just a Note.

You ask why this is a FIVE??? Well when I went to get the purple paper there was a spider in the scrap drawer. A BIG SPIDER. He was staring me down. I had to wait for my boys to get home to rescue me so I could get the purple paper.

This fun rooster was sent to me from Jan (Precious Kitty). I have a friend that has a rooster and she is always posting that it scares her. She is an animal groomer so I am cracking up that this animal scares her. Oh the stories. So when I saw Jan's card with her rooster I had to make a card with a rooster for the friend. Her husband is going to give this to her so that is why the XOXO sentiment.
