Down on the Farm!

Good morning! What a busy weekend I've had! It was spent catching up with family, grandparents mostly. Saturday night was spent celebrating my mom's birthday. (65) Sunday we celebrated Brian's Gram's birthday.....91 years old! Following that was a Palm Sunday lunch with my dad, sister, niece, and nephew. My crafty time has still been limited, but I did manage to find a few hours Friday night to create. It felt good to get back into the swing of things.....even if just for a little while. I used Crafty Secret's Farm Chicks set. It is such an adorable set.....even if I am a city girl at heart! ; ) The chickens were colored with Copic Markers. For the ground I used an old washcloth and my blending solution. Just wet the washcloth with the blending solution and dab the ground. It gives it nice texture and blended the sky and ground a bit together. The entire image was cut out with the Spellbinder's Eyelet Squares. I threaded twine through the holes to give it a rustic feel. For the Grade A image, I used Copic markers as well as Prisma colored pencils. I glossy accented the eggs. The stick pin was created with an open circle stick pin and a brad. I took the prongs off the brad and simply glued the brad to the stick pin.

The papers are just scraps I had in my stash. Some Graphic 45, Daisy D's.........remember Daisy D's? And yep......still have some of their paper!

It is a rainy Monday here.......gloomy, with snow in the forecast. Yuck. I really, really need spring to arrive! This icky weather is driving me crazy!

Hope you have a wonderful day! Thanks for popping in!
