I brayered and sponged on the sky and grass. Stamped on the trees in stazon jet black and the pine trees in stazon forest green. Ponged on old olive and creamy caramel. I drew the outhouse from looking at the IC picture on creamy caramel. water coloured over it with creamy caramel and shaded with chocolate chip. Over stamped it with weathered bg. Cut open the door. I made a bottom layer and stamped with weathered bg. used dimensionals to pop up the out house. Punched out the moon in chocolate chip. stamped the sentiment (Good Job) on CC. pierced holes and tied on the wire hanger. attached with a copper brad. Stamped and coloured the chicken - made it peeking out the door... I cut some rosemary from my garden and found the whole allspice. glued them onto the front area of the outhouse (sorry I was tired and couldn't wait for the glue to dry before I took the picture). Matted image with Creamy caramel and chocolate chip. Sponged edges. Pierced holes on top and bottom of creamy caramel.

This is a very cute card! Love the brayer/sponging combo, the shadows on the little rises really give texture. I like this challenge using spices! So cute and funny! It would make my day getting a card like this in the mail!
