today's set is called Chicken Scratches,and it's hilarious! it's perfect for tags, layouts, cards, anything! and the best news is, all of the sets will be available for purchase june 20th here! :)
i love the little chicken wire image in this set - it's so wasy to build a background with!
for my first card, i used that chicken wire image to create a background, matter of fact! :)
i painted my card base with a layer of gesso, and then dry stamped the image into the gesso while it was still wet.
this left impressions, and instantly added a subtle layer of texture!
once the gesso was dry, i painted on a think layer of distress paint in blue and grey.
don't you just LOVE the sentiments in this set?
my 2nd card is really FUN!!
ha ha!!
how could i NOT do a 'why did the chicken cross the road?' joke?! i just had to create a fun scene like this! the road is some washi tape, and the images were, once again, colored with copics and popped up!
i just LOVE cards that make people laugh!
