This chicken card was so, so much fun to make. I was thinking about my sister when I was making this card. She and I have been intrigued by the feral chickens that live on the island of Kauai. We would love to see the wild chickens on the beach. I have had this dp, that was given to me by my secret sister at church. I thought I would never use it becaue beaches aren't really my style. But it worked out perfect for this card. The little speech bubble was cut from the dp . Perfect for my beach Rooster.
If you would like to read more about the feral chickens and see a photo of one you can check out this post on THIS BLOG
I was thinking about chicken songs and this song came to mind. It is an older song. Do any of you remember working out to this song in school?
Hope you have a blessed day today.
Love that card MariLynn - especially the way you have paper pieced the fowls :-)
ReplyDeleteWe sometimes stop at picnic areas to find feral chickens there - they do well from lunch stops :-)
Blessings

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun and colorful card!!
ReplyDeleteGreat chicken card and although I do remember the chicken fat song I don't think we used it at school.
ReplyDeletewow - great coloring on the chickens!!!
ReplyDeleteI think I just deleted my first comment - duh! Anyway, your card is really cute and I love that you had a beach theme. And, I love the information on the feral chickens. I vote with you - that they must have come about after the storm!
ReplyDeleteAnd they even have Hawaiian shirts on.
ReplyDeleteI never heard of feral beach chickens! Do you notice how many people think these chickens are paper pieced? I think that's funny. Love your pretty card, MariLynn!!!
ReplyDeleteMariLynn--what a great chicken card! Love all the bright colors. TFS
ReplyDeleteFeral chickens? I had no idea! I can't wait to show my daughter! Great card Marilynn!
ReplyDeleteThe colors and beautiful background are so bold! I love this card! wow
ReplyDeleteLove the colors. Looks great.
ReplyDeleteYour chickens look as if they are dressed in their finest beach attire. I grew up on a farm with LOTS of chickens and my sis and I have said they were our least favorite farm critter. But they weren't as cute as yours.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute card, Mariilynn! I never knew there were feral chickens!!!
ReplyDeletewhat a super fun card; love all the details. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love the layout of your card!
