Okay, so this one is a little 'fowl', I admit... (Get it?! "Fowl/foul"?! Cracking myself UP!!)
I made this for the Limited Supply Challenge 133 which limited any and all embellishments to be non-traditional. My "embellishments" are a recipe from a cookbook that had been relegated to my Goodwill pile and some twist-ties. I was looking around for something to use, and then I also remembered that yesterday's Ways To Use it Challenge had been to use spirals in some way. I remembered that the cookbook I was getting rid of was spiral bound, so I looked through it for a recipe I could use as the basis of a card.
I knew I wanted to do something with chicken as I've had this weird little chicken head stamp for a while now but hadn't used it yet. First I came across "Mexican Chicken," and I really wished I had that A Muse sombrero! Finally, I settled on Bar B-Q Chicken because I did have a little grill stamp. And here are the twisted and demented results!
Thanks for looking!

It's slightly demented, but in a really wonderful way! ha ha, I love your creativity! What else are you supposed to do with just a chicken head, anyway? It's just great!
