This is my sample for Lisa's WTUI "What The Doctor Ordered" challenge this week - you'll find the challenge post and all the details HERE.
I love this chicken stamp with his quizzical expression - I got it a few years ago when I set a chicken soup themed challenge for HYCCT. He's stamped on watercolour paper and coloured with pencils.
To add to the kitchen feel I used a gingham stamp from IO to stamp the next layer, adding the sentiment directly to it. Then I decided I'd like the larger format of a square card, so I stamped a white base with Linen in walnut stain, and then added two die-cut borders tucked under the gingham and stitched on. The main image is matted onto a scrap of coloured DP with distressed edges, and to finish off I added a fallen feather from my peaky bird. Some days you get chicken soup, some days it feels like you're the chicken in the soup!!!

This is so dang fun! Love, love, love the the image of the goofy chicken in the bowl of soup. All of the stamped layers add to the country-feel of the card and the floating feather is the perfect finishing touch. Delightful creation! TFS
