I haven't posted a card in a few days, but I haven't had time to do much stamping this week either. So I thought I'd drag out one of my favorites from the archives!
Best of Cluck is one of my favorite Stampin' Up sets -- and it's set to retire at the end of the month (which means it can no longer be ordered as a new set from Stampin' Up.)
I made this card when I still lived in Oregon, before I lived here on the farm with chickens of my own. =) There are lots of things I love about this card. Like the polka dot chicken! Who doesn't love polka dots and chickens!? I also like how the background stamp turned out on this card. I think it's called stippled plaid, but I'm not sure. I'd dig it out of the drawer to check, but I've got high-maintenance Huey on my shoulder and lots of moving around just causes Huey to make lots of noise and flap around the room. I like to avoid that chaos when possible. =)
I got the leaf from my Mom. Thanks Mom!

This card is great, love that stamp set.

Beautiful card, Anna!!! You did a fabulous job with it, I think I like anything that looks like this style. Is it Amish, Dutch, or folkart? I'm still on the fence with buying this set, I love it, but do I really have to have it??? I'm trying to save money for the new catty, which is something that took me a long time to learn, LOL and TFS.

I had been wanting this set for a long time and when I saw it was retiring I hurried up and got it right away! Love what you've done with this Polka Dot Chicken!

Happy Friday, I just got this set from Mr. Brown today! I had been putting it off, but no more. In the meantime, I cruised the SCS gallery and marked a few for my Favs, and this was one of the ones I really liked. I never buy 'stale' items, but my two sisters have fallen in love with calling each other chicken - in the same way someone else would say sissy or buddy. So, thanks, Chicken, for the great ideas :-) Jennifer

That certainly is a keeper! I've liked that card ever since I saw it in your SCS gallery!
