Good Sunday morning. I had a couple extra chickens and chicks left on my work desk from the rooster and chicken card I posted yesterday. I couldn’t resist putting them to use again for my post today and this time paired the Roosters and Chickens set with the Border Duo 1, Large Fence, Rectangle 6-in-1 Frames, Butterfly set, Tall Grass, Grass Border and the Gingham Cover-a-Card stamp.
I started by stamping the gingham background on the card base. I by applied double stick tape on the back of the frame and attached the grass border and fence. I applied another layer of double stick tape to the frame and attached it to the card base. I tucked a couple sections of the tall grass in behind the grass border and attached with glossy accents. I covered the bottom of the frame by attaching the decorative border with mounting tape. I thought the eyelet trim was perfect with the red and white gingham.
The chickens and chicks were colored by sponging on distress inks with mini applicators. I attached the chickens and chicks in to the scene with mounting tape. I added the butterflies for the finishing touch.
Here’s a closer picture of the chickens and chicks. I think the chicks are so cute.
Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you have the opportunity to get into your craft room and get your fingers inky.
Card size: 5.50” x 4.25”

Just love the coloring on those chickens and chicks. That gingham background looks so perfect with the large fence, wouldnt have thought to use that and yet its just perfect. You sure do have a way with creating these scenes Kittie, so enjoy seeing them.
You really made the hens and chicks come to life- love the way you sponged the ink on them. So talented!
Ooooo, Mama Hen, you had better catch your little chicks- they are escaping, lol. This is such a cute scene and that gingham paper is the perfect choice for a real country feeling. Well done. I pinned. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/415386765606895229/
