This card is for the challenge over at Operation Write Home, 'On the Farm'! This card also happens to fit in with the chicken challenge at this challenge blog, I just found....cool huh?!?!? I used a retired Stampin' Up! stamp set and I paper pieced the egg. I cut little slits up the ribbon and just pulled out the fibers to give it that shredded look, although....I'm not sure how this is supposed to be mailed, LOL!!! Might be too bulky, maybe the ribbon can be folded down when mailing it????
I've been trying something new and different (at least to me, or maybe I never noticed it before, LOL!) on a few of my cards lately......not sure where I saw it but, I really like the effect. I stamp the image, then sponge around the image, kinda highlighting it. Then I paper piece or water color the image on another piece of card stock and cut it out, then adhere it on top of the sponged image. I really like the outcome doing this! Thanks so much for stopping by and have an awesome day ;)

Holley I like that sponging effect too. This card is so cute!
Absolutely brilliant, I was asked for a chicken card last year & had a tough time finding an image. Your sponging technique looks great xx
So cute! I love the colors you chose, and you are right, the shading around the image adds a certain something. You have beautiful projects on your blog. :) Thanks for stopping by mine and leaving a comment, too!
Holley, this has a real farm "rustic" feeling while being funny and pretty at the same time!
Just love it.
I am so happy that you played with us at OPUS GLUEI. Gave me a wonderful excuse to come back for second helpings of your chicken. LOL
