Day three- {Growing in Unity}-What the Cluck

 Hi Unity Friends:

This will have to be a quick one as I am wore out.  I worked the holiday weekend in addition to  my regular days.  Plus before that I spent all day at the MN State Fair drinking and eating my way through with my husband.  We were there for 9 hours and walked almost 24,000 steps. When we left in the morning I said "we'll only stay until noon".  There is something about a beautiful day, the smell of fried food and being with 150,000 people that just makes me happy, how could we leave early?  A trip to the fair is not complete until you check out the animals in their respective barns. By far my favorite animals to look at are the chickens.  Did you know that there are 100's of different chicken breeds in the world? I know at least 5 people that have chickens in the Twin Cities in their backyard and get eggs daily from them.  I love to look at all the different colors, shapes and sizes of chickens.  Plus there is always that one rooster that just does not stop crowing.  A day at the fair inspired these lovely gals below. 

The card layout is nothing fancy.  I liked the look of the die I cut out, stamped with the chicken wire and then blended some gathered twig distress ink on to that for a wood look.  I also stamped out two extra flowers and spread on multimedia matte to add shine and dimension.  Don't forget to add your comment for a chance to win one of two prizes from Unity Stamp Company.  Have a "cluck'n" great day.
