Speedy Fox and Friends - Use Red


The Speedy Fox and Friends challenge team are making cards with red this week.  I started out with black card stock and then layered torn strips of Graphic 45 papers.  I added the burlap, the chickens and the tree.   I colored flowers from  a stamp set from Mark's Finest Paper  called
 "Calendar Selections".    I sponged the ticket and added the Fall to complete my card.  I think this is one of my favorite cards.  I love the warm colors and of course, the sunflowers.

The burlap is repurposed.  I had covered some kitchen chairs with a burlap that had coffee sayings & such on it.  I had some scraps left and I decided I could use the plain side for cards.  Now that I think of it, the lettering on the other side was in black and it would have looked okay if I had used that side, as well.

I hope you will join us this week for our challenge, I want to see your red card.  Thanks, for dropping by today.
