PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE

If you have been visiting my blog for a while, you may know that we rescued 4 ex Battery hens on 20th December............which is actually the reason why i purchased this particular Penny Black stamp. The challenge today is 'Let's get Dotty'.........i LOVE dotty papers :)

If you look beyond the card, you will see Speckle, Daisy & Flopsy enjoying their freedom in the garden.....not sure where Button was when i took the photo, eating porridge probably!!!

The image is called 'Cluck,Cluck, Cluck! and they are all very excited to be going to the party :)
I've stamped onto watercolour paper and coloured today with my Lyra crayons and a water brush. The paper is Basic Grey 'Lollipop Shoppe' and 'Scarlet's Letter' with a small piece of scalloped Bazzill. The sentiment is Stamps Away and i've 'dotted' on some gems from stash.
The ribbon is Doodlebug with some extra dots added with my Inkssentials pen.

Our new girls aren't quite this plump yet, but their feathers are slowly starting to grow back now and hopefully by the spring they will be back to how they are supposed to look :)

Been working on my DT cards for next week, but can't show you those yet! Thanks for your time today......see you soon ;-D
