Chickens Rule The Roost, A Barnyard Card

Chickens Rule The Roost, A Barnyard Card

Hello everyone!  We hope you are enjoying spring and having lots of fun outside playing and/or inside crafting, like we have been doing! haha! We have been outside planting our garden and cleaning up the yard, then inside to clean the house and then craft! yay!  

My mom and I are trying to use up a container full of paper and crafting scraps! So I decided in making some barnyard ruckus with some fun barn themed patterned paper I found in the paper stash!  

Here is the Card:

I used items from our personal crafting stash. Trying to use the tidbits up and make fun and awesome cards! Got some Waffle Flower, My Favorite Things, Stampin' up and few others! With some fun barn and cloud patterned paper! 

Here are some more photos to show some close-up details of the card:










Here is the Art Nudge prompt/inspiration for the month of April:

......and that's it! 

Happy crafting to you all! We hope you feel inspired to create something!
