I was coloring images last night and I started playing with these chickens. The stamp is from Lasting Impressions. Isn't it cute?
I started with a 5 1/4 inch square base (Yes Olga, I said square) of Pure Luxury card stock in Sweet Corn. My designer papers are from two different pads by DCWV. The one paper I decided to use the MS fence punch on to make it a little more country looking. After using a Spellbinders die to cut out my image, I went around the embossed edge with a gold Sharpie marker. Coloring is done with Copics and sponging is done with VersaMagic ink. For accents I used flowers from the bridal dept. at Michaels with pearl accent centers. My sentiment is from one of my very favorite digi sites called Create with TLC.
I could not find a challenge that this fit into, but its okay. I had so much fun coloring it that I didn't want to wait. Please keep cool, and I will see you again soon!

Great card, Mary Anne! Sometimes it's just fun to make a card not centered around a challenge! I love the image you used and the sentiment is perfect!
Great card, Mary Anne! We went to a restaurant last week which was in a garden setting. Wandering around on the grounds were two different types of chicken "couples" (one pair was the fluffiest chickens I've ever seen!, as well as a peacock and a peahen. You just never know what you're going to run into!
This is so stinkin' cute with those baby chicks and mamma hen! The fence punch was the perfect border to keep them all protected from the elements :)
I hope you're staying cool over there! I have to go out this morning and pick up a prescription - aack! I hate going out when it's hot, I've turned into a serious wimp!!
