Seed Head Silhouette

Good Morning everyone.... I'm a happy bunny this morning because I had some productive crafty time yesterday evening.... well, into the early hours of this morning too!! so I have a card to share with you for Less is More and ColourQ.

Last time I played with ColourQ I said how addictive Arielle's challenges are then promptly missed two! so I thought I need to tackle these colours because they didn't jump at me to start with.
Less is More this week is to make a card that combines at least three past challenges and this fits into
Wk#2  Flower or Tree
Wk#42   Silhouette
Wk#24  Circles
it would also fit Off the Edge, Bit of Bling, Off Centre.....oh and Anything Goes! don't think that counts though somehow :0)
The die I used is called Chloe and is from Memory Box..... just couldn't resist it when I saw it :0)

I've been out in the garden this morning trying to convince one of the neighbours chickens that it really would be better for it to return to the other side of the fence back with its friends before our Lakeland Terror sees it!!! They are not the brightest of animals are they!... after carefully herding it towards a possible escape route it decides to turn and run back past me clucking furiously!!! 
By now the mutt has gone to the French doors and seen, what he thinks is, mum trying to do a job he could do much better but with different consequences for the chicken and is getting rather excited and vocal about it!!
Left to its own devices in the safety of the fenced allotment it finally managed to get back over to its friends without any scratching in the vegetable beds and Rolo missed out on a playmate!!!....hope this is not the start of a regular visit, it has also confirmed my suspicions that Rolo would love us to keep chickens in the garden but more for a sport than egg production!!

Thanks for visiting today and hope you remembered to turn the clocks forward last night if you live in the UK!

  8. This is absolutely beautiful...love, love, love it! And...have to say I'm laughing at the visual of you with the chicken! Hope she is not a regular visitor!

  9. Oh, how I loved the chicken tale! Connor adores chickens, and every time we visit our friend's farm he tries to convince us to bring some home. I can't even picture the dog's reaction! And yep, they are definitely not the shiniest pennies around ;)
    I absolutely love the way you've used this die - the flower silhouette is so versatile!

  11. Your card is amazing....love it to pieces.

    Oh my, you are a brave soul...I'd be scared the chicken would attack.

  12. Beautiful card, Jenny, love your flowers! The story of the chicken was the best, I am with your dog, use her(hen) for sport. I had a neighbor whose chickens were in my yard digging up all my pansies when we lived in New Mexico, and I wasn't a happy neighbor! thanks for joining us this week for the ColourQ challenge.

  17. LOL! Dogs really love their chickens din't they? Every walk we take involves the terrorizing of our local feral chicken crew! Really, you should let Rolo show you how to deal with them next time!
    I can see why you fell in love with that die. It's fabulous and you rocked both of these challenges!
