The French hens came pecking at the back door this morning saying they were rather partial to having Caviare for their breakfast and did I have any! Haven't they heard of Lockdown . Now I don't know any french but I think they got the gist of what my reply was.
The image is by Digi Stamps 4 Joy and called 'Pea Hens'. Digi only had 2 hens so I printed off 2 copies and fussy cut one extra one that I super imposed in front of the others. Die cut out using Spellbinder Romantic Rectangles. I coloured using my Graph'it pens, a gold gel pen and Pearlescent Chalks (on the background. Sentiment is Tonic's Modern Christmas cut twice in green and cream and off set slightly for depth. All layered up using green and cream cardstock.

Those French Hens sound really entitled expecting caviar!
ReplyDeleteGreat card Mrs A and a good idea to fussy cut the extra hen so there are three. You have done such a good job of the fussy cutting and colouring that I thought they were all part of the same image.
Congrats on keeping on track with your cards.
Charming Christmas card and fun post!

Cute lead-in to this post! Love what you did with the digi image, and smart of you to add an extra (and dimensional one!) to adhere to the theme of 3 French hens. The colors are so pretty on this card! TFS & Hugs.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny but I was thinking about Christmas cards this week and might just have to get started with some soon. Loving this card and the images are perfect. Happy creative week, Angela xXx
ReplyDeleteThis card is so lovely! The three French Hens look great. Hope you had some treats for them.
ReplyDeleteThe sentiment is superb. Love that you double layered it. I did not notice that at first, but when I read your blog post, I looked again and realized that they were layered and that was what made them pop off the page.
Beautiful card!
Thanks for taking part in the Rudolph Days Challenge.
