The challenge in the Crafty Secrets member forum this week is to "Check it out" and use checks on your project.
I stamped two piece with the checked pattern and then overlapped them, trapping short pieces of raffia into the join for "straw".
If you have Crafty Secret or Heartwarming Vintage products to play with, why not come join the fun? We'd love to have you play along with us! Details are here.

Gorgeous! LOVE the pop of color from his handsome green feathers! Great looking black thread from sewing, super touch with the raffia, and what a fun checked bg!

What a fun challenge Joanne, I have not played for the past 2 wks. hope to get back in the swing of things. I am glad you heard from Pammyjo positive thoughts for her. If I can post a card I will, this is a fun challenge and love the way you made that Rooster pop. All of the colors are great, and the stitching is the perfect fininshing touch.
