This chicken was staring at me while I was standing in line at the Post Office. I knew I could take him home and alter him and make him funky, so I did. I bought 2 cards (and made a photo copy--for a total of 3 images). The card was cut at the skyline. On the ocean piece, i added Versamark reinker with a brush to the water. It's got a great texture because some of it was thicker than other places. Also added sand in the foreground--very textured. I cut out the chicken and popped him up on different level dimensionals, but his legs are firmly glued flat to the other layer. His sunglasses have shimmery crystal effects on them. In the sky, I added cotton to the clouds.
My brother will probably get this one for his birthday. He lives in Kauai--where chickens roam all the beaches.
The card was made by Avanti Press. Photo on the card is by Kristi Harper.

I had to google the image to see the original card,I love what you did with it! So much texture, it looks touchable even on a screen. Great job! Now I’m gonna be eyeing the cards in dollar tree to see if I can alter them!
