I had to have another go at today's IC, to give it a better chance than this morning's card. It was passable, this I LOVE. It took a heck of a lot longer than 15 minutes, though, and I'll still have to stick it a bit better tomorrow when the acrylic is totally dry. Then it won't look crooked, which it isn't IRL.
Should I add white *blanket stitch* around the base layer too? Opinions welcome... Rooster Hand-Painted Border Clock
Can't remember what size I ended up trimming the black base to...stamped the images from Homespun Quilt on watercolour paper and coloured with re-inkers. Added white speckles to the hen's wings. Pieced together onto a square of card, layered onto black and added the lines with a white gel pen. Painted some black card with copper acrylic, and drew lines and swirls in the corners with a fine embossing tool. Layered the quilt onto this, and this onto a black base. So much fun...

How sweet this little chicken image Sabrina. I looked at this one a few times, but I am not too keen on drawing tonight, but yours looks awesome. I love the contour, the fun lines. Very well done my friend. TFS

what a cozy take on this IC, Sabrina! And I vote yes to the extra layer of blanket stitch. love the homemade feel of this card.
Loved the song you sent as did Reed who's ears perked up as I was listening. I've emailed it to his computer. Thank you so much, I had tears in my eyes when I first listened to it. And great blessing to me that day.
Happy New Year!
