A crow and a chicken

It's been a dreary old damp day again ... our weather is completely up the left at the minute!  Snowy showers yesterday, rain and storms due again this week and then a colder snap towards the end of the week.  Not a bit of wonder half the country has the sniffles!  Good crafting weather though ;)

If you'd asked me a while back if I wanted a crow stamp, I would probably have said No.  But then again, I never knew that a crow could be so charismatic!  I love the slightly quizzical expression ... I'd love to know how Holly can draw such fab images with just a few strokes of a pen!

Watercoloured BG;  weather die cuts from Lawn Fawn; Simon Says Stamp birthday die (cut using black funky foam).  Bling from stash.
My second card uses this fun farmyard set from My Favourite Things.  I popped my little chicken and nest up on dimensionals, and paper pieced the nest as I didn't have a pencil to match the yellow DP.

    Two great cards, Lynne! For some odd reason we have quite a few crows who come and go from our garden. I find their antics hilarious, although I doubt if the smaller birds enjoy having them around, Jo x

    Both cards are fab! You're right about that crow. He's pretty awesome. I like your chicken, too. It's funny how little stamps like these can really be perfect for so many cards. They add the perfect bit of whimsy.
