Do I have a mega combo card for you today!LOL! It all started with the featured stamper challenge. I found this and remebered I had my Moms PB carolers image. Since the carolers are singing and I could use it for Deb's music challenge. Well chickens have wings so that took care of Bonnies wing challenge. Then I thought I could color my chickens yellow and use Hollys color challenge. Since bashful blue is in the combo that also took care of Jami's blue embellies challenge. When I use chicken images I cant resist using my chicken wire background or weathered background. For this card I decided to use both which took care of Bettys dp by me challenge...Are you dizzy yet?!?!LOL! As I was cutting my card base I realized my blade was dull so I decided to distress the edges...you guessed it..another challenge..Deborah's challenge is texture. Now you would think will all this falling into place my card would have been perfect! Not so much!! First as I was coloring my image I realized I had to add some blue in so I decided to use it for shadows which turned out alot darker than I wanted. As I was inking up my weathered background stamp I realized something is wrong w/my real red pad. It got everywhere and I mean everywhere!! You may notice on my pic a couple of red fingers prints and it got on my ribbon as I was tying it! I started not to post it but decided maybe you could ignore the blue shadow and red finger prints!LOL! Have a great day!

I'm reeling over here! I lost track of how many challenges that is ... and my pea brain wouldn't be able to handle it anyway, so it's just as well that I lost count!
This is darling! I love your caroling chicks. And inky ribbon just confirms that it is handmade with love! Way to go, girl! tsmfs
