Chicken in the Grass

Okay... this one is just for fun because I wanted to try another one of my Woodware Lino Cut stamps.  With so much solid surface it can be difficult to get a good impression, especially with a clear stamp, but this came out usable with Memento ink and the MISTI.  It's called Chicken in the Grass.



My friend gave me the sheet of wood grain designer paper to help out with this card, and it was just the prompt I needed to decide which colors to use with the green.  A little burlap paper, a die cut greeting, and the Chloe Stem die to match...  I mean, really, how many different things can you do with a green square?  In the end I love it.  Stamped a birthday greeting inside (came with the stamp set), and tucked the card away in my birthday file.

Since my Woodware Chicken in the Grass stamp is fresh out of the package, I'm sending it over to Darnell's NBUS Challenge #23 (never before used schtuff).



Till I see you again... have a happy day!

Well, this card certainly says hello! Love the DSP and the burlap together. Thank goodness for the misti. I have a lot of problems with the clear stamps. My friend sent me one and I love it! Take care!

You have some of the most interesting stamps, you have a very good eye for such! Very rustic - love it! Hope you are keeping well! I loved seeing your card today.

cute stamp and it looks great against that green background, like those green chalk boards we had as a kid in our elementary school :) That wood paper looks terrific with it and like the touch of burlap. The flower die works great with the stamp!

Love your woodgrain designer paper with what look likes lots of layers of multiple colored paint splatters...so cool. Awesome way to get ideas for your Lino Cut Chicken in the Grass beautifully stamped green image and embellishments. Who ever gets this birthday card is going to LOVE it! TFS my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy

I love all the "wood and burlap" trim on your card, Leslie! The white design on the green background is so bright and cheerful! Great job of stamping that background! Hope your finger is behaving better.
