Now, you might look at my card and wonder how it fits the theme Outdoor fun. Chickens are fun, but I challenge you to keep chickens inside your house. I did keep some baby chicks in the house when my kids were little. That only lasted a couple of days. They quickly outgrew the little box they were in and I didn't want chickens pooping all over the house so they quickly became OUTDOOR chickens.  

I used 2 MFP sets
 Chicken Wire Stamp Set
 and
Flaps My Wattles Stamp Set

I used black stazon to stamp the wire to white cardstock.


I then stapled a piece of burlap to the cardstock.

I die cut 3 circles of dp. 


I die cut 3 circles of white cardstock and stamped the chickens on the circles. I painted them. There is wink of stella gold on the heads and I added dimensional gold paint to the flowers.
 



This card is for this week's I {heart} Sketches with a tWist 157
The twist this week is sparkle. I did both the sketch and the sparkle.

  6. You're right....chickens are definitely an "outdoors" animal!! Had a neighbor try to keep them inside also....not for very long though! Great job on the design and the coloring.......very cute card!

  7. Great idea to use the burlap with the chickens! Also, genius idea to staple it down. I've had trouble with glue seeping through the weave. Fun card. I adore my chickens...OUTSIDE! :)
