This is for the WTUI challenge this week, hosted by yours truly and you will be able to read all about it HERE.
I started off with my chipboard T, which I coated with two layers of gesso and then sponged with grey, then stamped the daisy border stamp and coloured it.
I had to create a little scene for my hens, so I found some old alcohol ink plaid in my box of scraps which serves for the hills in the background. The foreground was some failed ghosting sponged over with more green to darken it. The fence is stamped with Weathered. The background is blue card embossed with the Taylored Expressions cloudy ef , (which is a great one because it's landscape format), and then I added gesso to the clouds. Added a sun cut from felt, and "sunshine" cut from polished stone, along with a sentiment stamped on a cloud. To finish off I added my two little birds, cut from white card and sponged. I used black card to mat it, and then stuck it to a white base.

I love that you added "failed" things to your card! Made me feel like failure was not my own personal burden!! LOL! I love the plaid, the stamped "T", and those little hens are darling. I need to go look at the site where you got them!! This card suits me to a "T"!!!

Tea-mendous! Love the scene you created. It's fabulous that you could use so many scraps. Love the plaid hills. The "T" is so cute as a perch for the bird. Wonderful card!!

Love the expressions on your chickens! They really appear to be enjoying the spring sunshine! The clever "t" pedestal looks fantastic as a chicken perch! :-) Super card Sabrina!

So much texture with the felt, chip board and the clouds. The colors are amazing and the scraps of plaid for your hills work so perfectly with the scene. Super fantastic card Sabrina!
