This week, the Tea Party challenge is chickens! I immediately thought of this rooster pattern paper (The Paper Studio, "The Blue Barn" Collection).
Searching around for some images to go with it, I found the fancy fowl sticker, which had been a freebie with an order I placed at Etsy. To make him stand out from the background, I die cut increasingly large circles in brown, red, and gold. I also found a real feather to glue down behind him.
The card still didn't seem complete, so I cut a strip of red cardstock and glued it at a diagonal that roughly approximated the angle of the real feather. Then I stuck gold and black feather stickers (Unknown) to it.
My husband's reaction upon seeing this card was "Well, that's weird." LOL! I can't argue with him. But I hope it makes Jen smile.

Well it made me chuckle and I bet Jen will as well. I'm with Polly -- your fancy guy is a hoot. And the bg dp works great with him. Like all the framing to make him stand out. Fun card.

it may be a different card but it is stunning. I keep checking out the chicken inside the circle - so sophisticated. That background is perfect and the added feather is dead on.

And what a dapper chap he is! Definitely a stand-out among all the rest of the roosters! Great card!
