A is for Alphabet

Animals, Get Well, Humor, masculine, Ocassions, Taylored Expressions

Hello and happy Friday!  It’s not only “Good Friday”, but it’s Easter weekend here for us, so plans to enjoy the time we have together with food and laughter.  At least that’s the plan anyway!  I hope that whatever plans you have that you enjoy yourself.

Today starts up a new challenge over at the Alphabet Challenge Blog!  We have finished up the entire alphabet round and starting back up again for the 14th round which began in 2011! WOW! So beginning with the alphabet, the hostess has chosen “A” is for Alphabet (choose your own letter of the alphabet and a theme that begins with that chosen letter.)  *Remember that this is a bi-weekly challenge, so you have two weeks to enter*  I hope you will find some time to join us in the gallery!  Here’s what I’ve created:

The alphabet letter that I have chosen is “C” is for Chickens!  I needed a card for someone and so I thought of these Spring Chickens Stencil from Taylored Expressions.  I used that, plus the coordinating die to cut out the chickens. Along with that, I used the Yard House die set, Chicken Wire BG and the Just Chicken In sentiment set.

The quirky chickens and for an inside joke were sent to help cheer someone up not feeling well.

I started with a separate panel to stamp and stencil the chickens on.  I cut them out from the stenciled panel.  On another piece of cardstock, I stamped the Wire BG and ink blended around the edges.  I placed this onto a top folding A2 sized gray panel.  I wanted the area with the chickens to be the focus, so I took the TE Rounded Rectangle Stacklets and cut a piece of vellum that I used to create my scene on with the Yard House die set.  I centered the “hen house” and then used the placement of that to adhere the vellum panel to the center of the card front.

Lastly, I added the other chickens to the scene and the stamped/die cut sentiment which was popped up with foam tape at the bottom right of card.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you’ve enjoyed my card and it gave you a smile! 😊  Have a wonderful Easter weekend my friends!

  10. Chickens is a great pick for the letter C. I love the images you used, and that clear piece because it really shows the chicken wire. It feels more like the cage around the coop. 🙂 Enjoy your Easter. I hope you have a wonderful weekend my friend. hugs-Erika

  19. Wunderschön. Der Spruch ist ja zum schmunzeln und man fühlt sich als Kranker ja wirklich, als ob der Kopf nicht oben auf wär. Mir gefällt dein Hühner-Szene und schöne Farben.

    Danke für deine Teilnahme bei creative friday!
