This is for the TEAPOT TUESDAY Challenge. I cringe when I hear rap music. Very much not my style, so I decided to bring a chicken along who really knows a thing or two about music. Preludes and Etude's are more his style. This is "Johann Sebastian BOCK". Growing up on a little farm that wasn't farm from Carnegie Hall, he heard classical music from the time he hatched from the egg. While other chickens were walking around the farm Bock, Bock, Bocking, he was thinking about sontas. He dreamed of performing before crowds of people. Maybe today's his day.
I made this for my sister. She loves chickens, and has a little bit of a twisted sense of humor... well, she is related to me. This is also for the Stampin B's to make a humorous card.
Chicken image is my own drawing.

i really like your card. I am trying so hard to perfect that little squiggle around the edge border thing, it adds so much - but is harder to do than I realized! Beautiful job.

Nice card. I'm with you on the rap music. My son is into it - I call it rap crap. Though I'm not into classical music either. That was forced down my throat as a child & I'm still rebelling against it to this day. Give me some jazz, classic rock & roll, easy listening. Is my age showing yet?

I think he can peck to Prelude in C#Minor! He looks really "cool" against the chicken wire! (I'm not a fan of rap either. Must be something generational!!LOL!)

I love that your chicken has class in the music part. I too am not a lover of the rap. Your doodles are awesome. What a fun card with a very cute chick! Love it MariLynn. TFS :0)

I like J.S. Bock's musical notes - far more tuneful to my ear than rap. And I really like your offset image panel, and the great rustic feel added by the raffia. Bet your sis will just love this .
