Country or City

 

Morning All.

 

Its the last day of term here in France for two weeks.  My daughter is very excited as we have a movie night planned for this evening and also its Halloween soon.

 

The school usually have a little coffee and cake event where the kids all dress up so I must come up with a spooky ideasfor my cupcakes.

 

So back to todays post which is for Daring Cardmakers.  Our lovely host this weeks is Miri. 

Miri would like to know if you are a country or a city kind of person and then show us what you like about living there in your creations.

 

Can you guess what I am?

 

That's right. Country.

 

I grew up in the countryside in England and now I live in the beautiful countryside of Brittany, France.

 

As we had a little surprise hatching of new chicks I thought I would feature a cockerel on my card.

 

 

To make my card I started with a piece of black card stock and trimmed it to fit my card front.  I then took a piece of grey card stock and trimmed this slightly smaller.  I then stamped the pretty flowers to the bottom and top which is from a set by Stampin Up called Wood Words.

 

I then placed the grey card stock through my Spellbinders Platinum machine and used the embossing folder from Spellbinders called Chicken Wire by Donna Salazar.

 

I then used the same stamp and die from Stampin Up to make the cockerel and also I used the flowers again but this time coloured them in using some promakers.  I then added a little gingham ribbon to finish.

Gingham and country are just made for each other.

 

Thanks for stopping by and I can't wait to see if you are a city or a country kind of person.

 

Please stop by the Daring Cardmakers blog for more lovely inspiration and I will see you there.

 

Have a lovely weekend.
