That scarfed chicken is hilarious and the colors you chose are wonderful. I really enjoyed the silhouette stamp you used on the first one too. Very nice effect. Thanks for joining us at Colour Crazy Challenge!
Two beautiful CAS cards here, well done! I love the funny chicken in our hot and spicy colors. The sentiment is simply perfect for the card. Thanks for joining us at Less Is More!
They are both great cards...love the chicken though!
i too love the spicy chicken..silly images are so much fun, and you did a great job with it!
What a funny chicken, perfect for the ailing person to use with the chicken soup. Fun card. So glad you joined us at Morgan's ArtWorld.
That first card is wonderfully nostalgic and sweet, Kathy, puts me in mind of Mary Poppins (feed the birds, tuppence a bag!) ... and that cosy chicken is brilliant, she's fun, colourful and so deliciously quirky! Anita :)
Two great cards Kathy and love that quite vintage looking silhouette which works well for Christmas, and the the quirky fun chicken image is perfect with the'under the weather' sentiment and would certainly cheer someone up who isn't feeling at their best. x
Two fabulous cards Kathy ! A very classy Christmas card ! And I love this fun chicken with the colours of our challenge ! A funny and CAS take on our challenge ! Thanks for sharing and for playing along at Less is More !
2 fun and striking cards Kathy but I have to say that second one really made me laugh out loud. Incredible image and beautifully coloured in our hot and spicy shades. Thanks for joining us this week at Less is More
Two fabulous cards, but the second one made me giggle x
Two great cards. I like "personalized" envelopes. Great idea!
Your "spiced" chicken card is fantastic. Super colouring and superb image.
Thank you for visiting my blog. :-)
The first card is a classic, so like A A Milne. Your crazy chicken would cheer up anyone. Two great cards.
Lovely work. Thank you for joining the challenge at Creative Fingers. Hope to see you again next time.
