My Creative Time 3D Wednesday!

Hi and welcome to another My Creative Time 3D Wednesday!  For today Emma asked us to "alter something" :)  It could be anything.....a frame, a box, ect...
So I chose to alter a wooden frame I  picked up  at Michael's.  It was one of the unfinished wood frames that cost a dollar.

I love chicken decorations (for some reason! lol!) for my kitchen so I made this to hang up somewhere in there!


I forgot to take a picture of the frame before I covered it! oops!! :)

Anyway,  I started by painting the edges of the frame brown, I already had the paint on hand! Then I covered it with patterned paper from the Autumn Splendor collection by We R Memory Makers.  I used MCT's Spring Chicken Background stamps for the fun chicken wire behind the chicken!  The chicken is from the Country Life Cricut cartridge.  It is cut at 3".  I used MCTs Build A Banner Kit  for the banner and Anyday Bingo and Crossword for the letters.  I also used the Egg Dies from the Hello Spring set.  I stamped   the 5 cents from the Piles of Smiles set onto the layered tags from the Teeny Tag Greetings set.  The little stitched heart stamp on the tag is from the Beary Special Thoughts set!  I inked around EVERYTHING with TH distress ink in Vintage Photo and Tea Dye.  I added some raffia I had on hand and that was it!  :)

Thanks so much for stopping by today!!
