Who'd have thought: an anniversary card from a chicken soup spelling challenge??!
I was really stuck with the spelling part of the challenge, especially the U: a chicken on a unicycle? with an umbrella? I even skimmed the whole U section in my little dictionary. Then
it occurred to me. Weaving! I did the Over/Under thing with strips of sponged straw dp. Clever, eh? and the stamp set I chose is called Poultry Parade. I feel so smug.
S strips of sponged straw dp
O over
U under
P poultry parade

Oh, you do right to feel smug! That's a very clever take on O & U!!! I thought you'd tiled the background at first. The straw paper looks fab woven like that, and I love your pair of barnyard fowl. I think you've earned an extra bowl of soup for being souper-duper creative.

I was looking at your straw paper and thought they were all little squares and could not figure out where you got SOUP! Then I read and wow - you thought out of the box and really scored! tfs
