My yellow bg started out as two sheets of paper with some gesso( the pasty kind) inbetween...when I pulled them apart I got a fun texture. I applied distress stain to the entire sheet and then stamped chicken wire and other bg stamps using the blue distress stain instead of ink. The chicken is hand drawn and I also added some doodling around the edges. Thanks for looking!

Polly, you are such an adventurous artist, what with the gesso, the collage-y feel of the background, and your original little hen, which is so sweet! It all came together to make such a nice card!
