Chicken Run and Chickens

I have two birtrhday cards to share today-our grandson Noah was 1yrs old on the 11th April(Card to follow)and also Grandaughter Holly was 8yrs old the same day and asked for chickens for her birthday-which I might add are living at Grandmas lol so we have three new additions to our 2cats,2dogs,2bearded dragons,2rabbits,4hamsters and 1gecko-and I was quite happy just living with our two cats!!!Anyway I made her a card using Chicken Run images,I used a background stamp on kraft card and cut into strips for a chicken shed door and added some fibres for straw.I added two apertures with lift up covers inside card as little chicken roosts.

    A super card Carol, such a fun image.
    We had two chickens - they absolutely wrecked my garden but the eggs were lovely.

    What a managerie! Wonderful card and, by the sounds of things, the perfect choice of image - I only really remember Ginger from the film, I should watch it again. I have a niece and nephew, brother and sister, born on the same day but several years apart (funnily enough they are the children of my sister, whose birthday is April 11).

    You are such an awesome Grandma. How fun to have chickens and I love their names. Your card is fantastic. I live the picture and how you designed the wooden area with the straw embellishments. Thanks for joining us at International Art&Soul challenge.
