Chicken Coop Panels

I had fun last night with the SCS Sketch Challenge.  I already had some images from my Kittie Kits Chicken Coop set painted and cut out that I hadn’t used in an earlier project.  All I had to do was whip up a background scene and cut it into the panels for the sketch.

I started the scene by stamping the fence across the page with black ink.  I sponged in the ground area and then used a homemade cloud template to sponge in the sky.  I stamped the tree trunk, painted and then filled in the tree top with a small leaf image from my Outdoor Master. I used a small sponge dauber to lightly continue the appearance of the tree trunk up into the leaves. I used the little mini fern image from the set to fill in the ground area and to create little weed runners along the fence line. I cut the scene into three panels, layered them on the red and then attached to the green base.  The sketch called for something of interest like a sentiment tag, etc on the left corner so that is where I thought the momma chicken and the baby chicks should be placed. I think the big tree and ground area carry over well from one panel to another even though they are separated a little more than I would have liked.
