Aren't these stamps just the most fun you've seen in ages???
This is a tri fold card and I got the instructions for making one here Thank you Jayni.
I know it is the rose tinted spectacles view of Summer that I've represented in this card.
I can't see that even if I did a shiny version of mossie bites on a leg that it would be greeted with much joy nor would a shiny sweaty armpit, but the truth of keeping hens is that unless they have a VERY large grassy area to strut their stuff in, it will end up a brown patch of dirt very quickly and no flowers would survive either.
So this is the shiny version of keeping hens.
I used pencil crayons to colour it and edged it with cut and dry foam using Adirondack dye ink in clover. The black ink used is my favouriteVersafine black.
Click on it to make it bigger.
Shiny shot that shows the glitter.
These are the fabulous stamps.
Did you know that hens from Belgium make a different noise? Kot kot kot.
Is that a silent "t" then? And do you pronounce the "ko" bock?
Because that's the noise they make?
It's a shame I can't do you a sound bite of my hen impersonation.
Maybe as a special Christmas treat I could do one, because I am lead to believe by my loved ones, to hear it is life changing.
Hmm, thinking about it they don't go cluck either, they really do go BOCK.
Happy creating this weekend!

Wonderful set of chickens you have. So much detail. Must be quite like watching the real things. Just don't know where to look next. I LOVE IT. Thank you for playing with us at OPUS GLUEI. I adore your creations. Tell Spanky I send my best.
Darling Gini - I don't know what I enjoy more - your fun posts or your lovely projects! Luckily I get to enjoy both! These stamps are fantastic and I love this card, I'm going to check out the tutorial and try it out for myself (add this as project #247 on the list of all the goodies I want to make!).

This card is amazing. YOu do such fine work and you do it so well! I am gong to watch this card for many hours, but you will never know I am here. I'll just quietly watch. Hey, my verification word is "chensual" Is that sensual chickens?
