At the Gate

I have another bit of Verve to show today from the Verve Spring release last week. It's cute little Chaz from the Chicks Rule set. He is downright the coolest around, hanging out at the farm gate.
 

Open the gate and there's a coop ramp to fold down and add a personal message.


Chaz is colored with Prismacolor markers in a few striking colors. I stamped the sentiment and then traced around an oval Nestabilities die to create the callout with a little talk tail (is that what its called?)

I'm thinking this gate card should be a cutting file? What do you think? Any testers out there?

Details:
Stamps: Chicks Rule
Paper: Smooth White (Neenah), Kraft (?), Haute Red (Wausau)
Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black inkpad (Tsukineko), Cream, Jasmine, Light Peach, Peach, Chartreuse, Spring Green markers (Prismacolor), PITT Artist Pen (Faber-Castell)
Accessories: Woodgrain Texture Fades embossing folder (Tim Holtz - Sissix)

    When I saw this on the Verve Gallery I immediately fell in LOVE and HAD to find your blog to find out how it was made. I totally think it should be a cutting file!

There is an Anni-Verve-Sary party going on today! Verve Stamp Company is 2 years old! The hop started at Verve's blog , so come hop on board and see over 5 dozen projects that are sure to get your Verve on! I've been waiting for the right time to blog about this project and when the opportunity came to join in the anniversary blog hop for Verve I knew it was time. My blog hop project today uses all Plain Jane Bible verses from Verve. I saw this project at Susan Roberts gallery on Splitcoaststampers and went to her blog to get the details . I decided to make one for my mother as a Christmas present...in 2008. Yep, I just now finished it and I have the blog hop to thank. Using sketches would have made this a whole lot faster. LOL The two cards shown in the picture above use the latest Plain Jane release for Psalm 121:1-2 (hanging on box) and Hebrews 11:1 (in front of box). And I'll give the details below, but first here's a slide show of the whole year. Hebr...
