Hi, Friends......
I am here with my second and final entry for the Summer Coffee Lovers Hop.
Remember that I have two giveaways going on right now. Details are below!!
Freddy, my new rooster. |
This card was a challenge for me since I am a novice at sponging, but I like how it turned out. I am on the eastern side of my time zone, so the sun comes up VERY early in summer. Freddy starts crowing pretty early to tell me it is time for coffee! :)
My rooster is stamped with Onyx Black Tsukineko - Versafine Ink, and heat embossed with clear powder. I considered adding in some grass, but decided to go very plain to let the sunrise and my rooster take center stage. I printed out my own sentiment since I didn't have one I liked for this card.
NOW FOR THE GIVEAWAY INFO........
I have a GIVEAWAY currently going on to celebrate last weekend's Watercolor Hop AND this Summer Coffee Lovers Hop.....and today is the LAST day to enter!!!!

For being a novice sponger, this card is inky perfection! I grew up on a small hobby farm and we had this crazy rooster that would crow at all hours of the night. I felt like he had PTSD or something!
ReplyDeletegreat card and sponging, love the rooster
ReplyDeleteJanis, your card is amazing!

ReplyDeleteYou're a novice at sponging? OMGosh, you are a natural at it, then. This is gorgeous!
