TSC challenge was to make a humorous get well card.
I searched high and low in my stamp stash and my sticker stash and could NOT find a chicken stamp!!! So, I went to Michaels and searched and searched there! Couldn't find any stamps, but found a few stickers, only to have them toooo small for what I wanted. I happened to graze through the $ bin and guess what!!!!!!! There was the PERFECT chicken stamp! Go figure!!!
I stamped my chicken with Whispers black, inked with SU markers and cut out. I punched out a ciricle from white cs and cut 3/4 to make a bowl. I sponged with Whispers brown and yellow......hand wrote Chicken Soup with black marker.
The sentiment is computer generated onto white cs and then mounted onto yellow cs and pop dotted onto the card. The top note was a RAK from Glitterbabe (Thanks Stef!) and was mounted onto yellow/orange glitter DCWV dp. I used a CB die for the corners and added yellow dew drops.
What do you think?

You did a great job on this one Lesley. I LOVE chickens. They are my all time favorite favorite bird. I had a pet chicken growing up that would ride on my shoulder. Your handwriting is such a great touch and so nice. I really like the dies too. Awesome job. Makes me smile....

Lesley, this is so cute. I love that sentiment, everyone would feel better - well other than the cow. The chicken is so cute and how lucky to have found it in the $ bin. I like the top note and the bling.
