This is for MMTPT88. I just couldn't stand by and watch Gertie throw her heart away on a flash in the pan like Frizzle Da Dizzle. We all know how these rapper dudes have a hen in every nest. Gertie is so in love with strong and steady Monty but she is still having trouble letting go of that heart pounding heat she feels when she is behind the barn taking rap lessons from that no good Frizzle Da Dizzle. Gertie runs back and forth in the barn yard trying to get herself and her feelings under control and make the best decision. Should she follow the groupie of hens and run after Frizzle or give her heart to Monty, who may not be as exciting as Frizzle but is loving and loyal and as faithful as the day is long. I know what I think she should do.
I couldn't resist using two retired SU sets for this challenge. It has been a really long time since I played with the Best of Cluck set and thought the big old hen was perfect to pair with the barn from On the Farm. I stamped the barn on watercolor paper and again on scrap watercolor paper to cut out and pop up. I masked off the barn and sponged in the ground and sky area and then created the tree with a sponge and artist pen. I stamped the ground texture with my mini fern and then sketched in the little fence in back of the barn. I painted the barn and cut out pieces and popped up for dimension. Gingham and barn yards are a perfect compliement to each other.
