A card to recognize the gallery of our Featured Stamper for week FS864, Brenda aka Tillergirl. I have been noticing her work for a while, her Gallery is filled with beautiful images and delightfully wicked humor.
I selected Just us Chickens by Tillergirl at Splitcoaststampers to case for the Challenge because hers reminded me of these chickens which were left from a long-ago scrapbook kit and I have been meaning to use them.
I flipped mine to landscape orientation and found the best size scallop circle. Any chance to use the chicken wire background is wonderful. Then I studied the available stamps in my crafting category for appropriate sentiments. The center hen seemed to be advising another so I was happy to find the Designer Tee sentiment. The envelope was found already stamped in the case so I used it.
I thought about adding scarves or flowers but the images seemed to small for that as I do not like crowding. I compromised with a ribbon & bow.
This is so cute, Gayle! I love your stamping hens! It's probably better to snack, than drink, when you're stamping! I love the chicken wire circle behind--it makes things really pop!

Gayle, your card gave me a chuckle. What a fun image, and great use of Brenda's card for inspiration!
