I love joining swaps with my team and demonstrator friends from across Canada. Recently I participated in two swaps using products from the Occasions Catalogue and the Sale-a-bration brochure and received some super cute cards! Today's card was created by Laurie Alexander and features the Home to Roost Cling Stamp Set from the Sale-a-bration brochure. This is a free reward you can choose with your order of $60 until March 31st.
The rooster is stamped in Memento Black ink an coloured beautifully with Stampin' Blends. I really love all the textures that Laurie has incorporated into her card.
The checkered background is created using the Buffalo Check stamp set which was introduced in the Holiday Catalogue and has been carried over which means you can still order it!
