Year of the Rooster Sister Stamps

Year of the Dog and Rooster Sister Stamp Blog Hop 

Sister Stamps Zodiac hop Day 2 for Release #12: Year of the Dog and Year of the Rooster.  Card style chosen for this release is a Circle Flip Card. The template for this card is from the Silhouette On Line Store for 99 cents! There are dies with this card style readily available, too if you do not own a Silhouette. Finished card size is 4-1/4" x 5-1/2". 

I would like to give a shout out to Debbie, at the Paper Pulse Blog. She is a incredible wizard at using the Silhouette computer program.  She took a straight image I had and wrap it around in a circle. The image used is around the Rooster. Watch her You Tube video here to learn how. Clap, clap, clap, happy, happy!!!Cool, eh?

Stamp the Rooster twice, then pop with foam squares. Copics used W-1, R89, R46, YR04, YR07

Rooster Kanji word is cut using SCAL, then popped with foam squares.

Items used to make this card:
