Congratulations Brenda (Benzi) on being this weeks featured stamper... i enjoyed checking out your wonderful gallery... Here is the card I chose to case - Fabric kind of morning.. WT227, Fabric Kind of Morning by Benzi at Splitcoaststampers
My plaid background is a piece of flannel. I used the fun chicken image (rak from our sweet Pat Smethers - thanks Pat
I water coloured the image with SU reinkers. Stamped on the grass (water colour mini). Matted image with more mustard and black. Distressed and sewed edges. Attatched the raffia and plaid brads. I changed the layout. Tilted the image and added the black strip in the middle.. Placed the orange feathers behind the image...
Congrats again - Brenda... enjoy your time in the spotlight....
P.S. - I'll be giving this card to my Husband for our Anniversary - it's on Dec. 28th

I like the card of Brenda's that you cased, and I really like your card as well. The flannel, the buttons, and the raffia are all great, but how about those chickens?!! It looks like they are doing the tango. Love his teeth, and what looks like glasses, and then her with the sprig of greenery in her mouth. Quite the card, great job!!!

Oh, wow! This is just so fun...it made me chuckle. Great use of the country feel that includes the fabric, button, and the raffia.
