Last night I finally got around to making my entry for the current clarity challenge - this month its all about masking - well I ummed and ahed and scratched my head - then I remembered that I had to make my sisters 50th birthday card - so thats what I did.
I stamped the chickens then masked them - then used a homemade stencil with the 50 on and inked on in ripe persimmon. Then I masked to do the yellow and brown and overlaid the wire stencil. I also added the star stamp detail to the 50. Finally I added the words using the clarity alphabet stamps.
I unmasked the chickens and coloured them with shades already in the picture.
I', quite pleased with this one - and I'm sure Jacqui will like it!
I'd like to enter this into claritystampchallenge-38.
Have a really nice day!
Big hugs

Fun birthday card - we used to have a rooster to watch over our five hens. But he did not like anyone except my husband - one day he attacked me. I was surprised how strong and wild he was. I can tell you he was the rooster from hell.
