Just Chicken Up On You

The Limited Supply Challenge on Splitcoaststampers today was to focus on background stamps and to use no designer paper.  I remember a while back when I thought it was sort of a cheat to use designer paper instead of creating a great background for your card with stamps.  Paper has become so popular and there are such a variety of choices I soon found myself using it regularly.  I enjoyed this challenge today as I always enjoy using little farm animals and there is no better farm background stamp than Chicken Wire.  I used my Rubbernecker  Chicken Wire as the wire is a little smaller and I think it is much more decorative for smaller images.  This is my first chance to use my new My Favorite Things Punny Farm and the images are darling.  I loved making the chickens all red with white polka-dots on their wings as they are so fun and rediculous.  I wanted the card to be mostly about the background so didn’t really create a large scene.  I’m sure I will be doing lots more farm scene cards with this set as the animals and sentiments are wonderful.

  1. This is just as cute as can be. I ordered this background stamp a couple weeks ago, and it finally arrived. Can’t wait to use it. I like the out of the box chicken and the gingham ribbon is just perfect. TFS
