"On The Farm" Card

Hey There Bleeps (Blog Peeps!)
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 ;)
