Now for a bit about my project.

This sentiment, which is part of the Chicken Run stamp set, makes me chuckle every time I read it.

After die cutting my various squares using the Grand Squares dies from Spellbinders, I die cut the top right corner of the smallest square with the Mixed Media dies by Sizzix.  I heat embossed the sentiment with Black Detail embossing powder and I stamped the chickens with Black Soot Distress Ink.

Now it was time to make the sentiment come to life.  I added various glitters in different patterns on each of the chickens to give them  their unique look.  The glitters used were Lator Gator, Jasper Blue, Fiery Fuchsia and Galaxy Night.

I created a border around the edge of the middle square using 1/8" Tear-ific Tape and more Galaxy Night glitter.  A bit of raffia adds the finishing touch to this country style card.

Your next stop on the Nov Reveal Blog Hop is Shona and I know she has created something fabulous!  Don't forget to leave each of us a comment for your chance to win all five of the new stamp sets released this month.
