I know I promised to have some cards incorporating some of my monoprints today but I had to help DH deliver some hay last night so we were gone most of the evening and I didn't get a chance to play... I'm going to work on those sometime this weekend so I thought I'd share a couple farm inspired cards today featuring - Chickens!
This rooster was colored using Spectrum Noir markers with a bit of Distress Stain used for the ground. I originally tied the bit of string and it looked so bare so I tucked a vintage green supermarket trading stamp into the twine and for some reason it just worked.

This is one of JFF's Stamptangle stamps...their take on easy Zentangle creations. I colored this hen with various colors of Distress Stains blending as I went along.

Hope you all have a wonderful Mother's Day weekend!

That savings green stamp works perfectly on the first card and I love the addition of buttons. That second card is totally delightful. I love the second card also with the hen on the music. Beautiful job coloring with the distress stain.

ReplyDeleteI just wait for the gelli prints te get used. take your time.
I appreciate all the work you put in this blog and understand that it takes a lot of time.
That is one of the reasons I don't have a blog myself.

I have a love for chicken and rooster stamps...so yes, I LOVE these cards! The colors are wonderful and that little trading stamp tucked under the jute is perfect! Hmmmm, I wonder what I ever did with my Mom's old trading stamps? I know that I found some when we were clearing out her house and I know I saved them so now I need to dig around and use them on some cards!
