I actually set out to practice inking techniques when the Doodle Something challenge reminded me of a set of stamps I'd not used. The doodles made me think of a cockerel's tail feathers (I'd been looking at the cockerel stamp with Easter in mind). I have tweaked this Creative Inspirations sketch a little by replacing the sentiment with a gem.Recipe
Focal Image Stamped (Elusive Images Easter Greetings), heat embossed (Stampendous Detail Copper & watercoloured (Twinkling H20s). Oval (cut using Xcut Shape Cutter) edged with Stickles Glitter Glue.
Background Panels Using Distress Ink cardstock was inked, dampened with moist paper towel & stamped (Elusive Images Funky Doodles).
Propping Panel Image stamped (Hobby Art Easter Eggs), heat embossed (Stampendous Detail Copper), coloured (combination of Twinkling H20s & Stickles), cut out & mounted onto punched (Woodware) scalloped oval.
Message Panel Punched (Woodware) & scallops inked (Encore Copper).

This is FABULOUS. I totally LOVE it!! Great coloring job on that rooster and the eggs. The color scheme is perfect for vintage. I think you rocked both the Creative Card Crew and the Creative Inspirations challanges!! So happy you could play along with both challenges.
Holy Macaroni, that is a ton of challenges!! Well done!! Is it a natural response to make sound effects at the sight of a rooster, because I just crowed!! Your images are coloured wonderfully and I love the distressing effects!! Thanks so much for creating with us this week at Creative Inspirations!!!
