FCCB "Bye Bye Birdie" challenge

This week we would like to see you use a bird in your project. My DT inspiration is a 5x5 sized card using Bazzill Kraft and distressed around the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. The blue and white checked, red, and green cardstock comes from The Paper Studio's Farm Fresh stack. The green cardstock was embossed with Distressed Stripes Cuttlebug folder and the red cardstock was stamped with Iron Gate Stamps Chicken Wire background stamp. I used the Country Life cart to cut out this cute little hen. The eye was stamped using an eye stamp from the Everyday Character Face Parts and More Peachy Keen stamp set and a white gel pen. I used a Stampin' Up tag punch and faux stitched around it after stamping the cute sentiment from My Pink Stamper's Tweetie Hoo Puns (retired). I tied the tag with some hemp twine from my stash.

Country Life

I love the area we recently moved to. Even though we are in a subdivision, we are surrounded by farms. I love the wide open spaces, seeing all of the beautiful stars in the evening sky, watching the farmers tend to their crops, and listening to the roosters and chickens (as well as enjoying fresh eggs). So for this weeks challenge at Bitten By The Bug 2, I wanted to do a chicken card. Cricut has so many adorable chicken cuts, but I settled on using one from the Country Life cart. I also had fun coloring in the layers using Cricut Craft Room and the Imagine More cart.

The frame and photo corners were cut from the Imagine More cart and adhered to a cream base embossed with the Seeing Spots Cuttlebug folder. The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper's Tweetie Hoo Puns set and stamped on a tag die from My Creative Time. I'm also entering this in the Die Cuttin Divas challenge. Thanks for stopping by! Have a creative day:-)
