Lee's challenge was to "Tickle our Fancy" ... or use feathers somehow.
I had to ask my neighbor for the feather, lol, and all she had were black and hot pink ... well, I snagged a black one and thought of this ... Not sure what kind of chickens are black, but I know they exist, lol.
I stamped the chicken in versafine onyx and colored with prismas/gamsol. (If you look at the right image - that was actually taped to the inside cover after I took the photo.)
For the front, I distressed the edges and sponged with Tea Dye then matted on black that I also distressed. The base is caramel with a BG on vanilla of chicken wire stamped in a sepia/brown (Thanks, Stacy/jbgreendawn). I distressed the chicken wire layer and sponged more Tea Dye.
I glued some of the black feathers down beneath the image panel, then tied some knotted twine around it haphazardly before popping it up on dimensionals.
I actually loved this challenge, Lee - thanks!
Thanks for looking!
