Chicken Stack

 


What about a chicken stack?  How high can you go?

At Critter Crazy we do critters, any kind as long as they are the focal point. check it out here: crittercrazy  


I used to have chickens, lots of different kinds.  They are very smart birds - I bet you didn't know they could do gymnastics like this.  Often I would find them sitting on top of each other in the nest box even though there were some boxes not occupied.  They are very sociable.  cluck! cluck!

To start with, I stamped and embossed the chickens.  I stamped onto a post-it note and made a mask so I could put the subtle green behind them (my chickens loved to be out on the grass), and also did a bit of splatter.  Took off the mask and coloured the birds.  The sentiment strip has edges inked. 

Stamp: unknown  

Sentiment:

Also: Distress inks, Copics black distress paint, white gel pen

I remember your chickens Carol, it amazed me how you would cuddle them, I had never seen that before, made me guilty about eating it, how awful.
Anyways, love your card, so many chucks enjoying gymnastics and I love the splashed background. xx

Oh Carol, this is so sweet - and amazing stamp and I love how you have masked the image to make that fabulous background.
Can't say I have seen ever them 'stacked' on a nest!
I often feed my friend's chickens, and one in particular will peck, so now I wear gumboots and black trou, and she hasn't figured out where one ends and the other starts...yet. If I give her a rub she generally settles, but I always keep an eye on her!
