SU Challenge 185 ~ Best Of Cluck




















I made this card for the SU Challenge 185.
I did not have any animals but then I found this Chicken set that I had forgotten about.
It was fun to use it again.
It is an oldie but fun goodie image, called Best Of Cluck.
I used ink pen colors of Only Orange, Ruby Red, So Saffron and Certainly Celery.
CS in Garden Green, So Saffron and Ruby Red colors.
I did not have a designer paper to use that fit the theme, so I used the chick peep stamp from this set on the So Saffron with Certainly Celery ink.
SU So Saffron Ribbon, Flowers from Wild Orchind Crafts, with buttons and mustard twine from my stash.


Many thanks for coming by and leaving some enouraging words.

Blessings to all, Doreen

I live outside the Portland Oregon area and we have been hit with a heat wave. It is hot and muggy.
I took my fan to my hobby room and managed to make some more cards.
Too hot to cook so my son and I  had tuna sandwiches, ice water and of course watermelon.


Hope your all doing well and not sufferin in the heat.
Many thanks for coming by to share encouragements with me.
