This is for Betty who lives on a farm. I decided to go full out with farm motifs on this card. I got to use some new dies...the little girl and the roosters, the fence...I wanted to include gingham on this card so I paper pieced her dress and then I decided what the heck...I'll make one of the roosters gingham as well TFL!

What great dies...I love the roosters and the little pieced gingham dress. This brings back memories of visiting my dad - the chicken wire really does it, all those times he held it up while I chased hens back in. What a lovely farm-themed card for Betty.

I love the die cut girl and animals! Great layout on this! Very clever the way you included so many farm elements - the chicken wire, the gingham, and the animals. Great card for my challenge!

Great diecuts, love the colors and that black and white checked strip is the perfect counterbalance. Fab card!
