Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
It's time for a new challenge at CAS Mix Up.
The lovely and very talented Linda is hosting this month and she's asking for...
I stamped on some old designer paper and tried to strategically place
the dots. I found some other snippets of paper in orange and brown to cut
do the beak, wattle and branch.
Actually this is probably a rooster with a bleached out comb.
Artistic license in play here!
Whatever it is, I love the expression on his/her face and hope you
get a smile out of it too.
I've popped the chicken up and put it all on some textured paper that
I'd stenciled with chicken wire.
My mixed media are Paper Piecing, Stamping and Stenciling.
If you're not sure about the technique, there are some links to video
tutorials at CAS Mix Up.
Our amazing design team is joined this month by the very talented Bonnie (no not me).
Do check out what they've done and I hope to see your card in the gallery!

ReplyDeleteThis is so great, love the spotty chicken, but it is a little sad that he is inside the wire, but I suppose that will be keeping him safe from those pesky foxes xx
