Survivor - May

Soul Scrappers is celebrating the site's 10th anniversary in 2020, with a SURVIVOR-themed year long challenge.  It's modelled on the reality tv show, except there will be no eliminations.  I've signed up and I will be sharing my creations on my blog.

** Participants can sign up all year - and there's also a random element so everyone has a chance to earn points and win some scrappy prizes **

The May challenge theme is BIRDS.  The challenge doesn't require the layout to include a photograph of birds, but I have an entire library of photos of chickens and ducks that we raised at home... so it was a good push to sort through those and see what might be scrap-worthy!  This is my layout:

Materials

October Afternoon Fly a Kite - Front Porch patterned paper
October Afternoon Report Card - Bus Route patterned paper
Cheery Lynn Designs Chicks cutting dies
Vintage trim
Unbranded satin flower
Corrugated cardboard
Kaisercolour Antique White acrylic paint
Mont Marte Metallic Yellow acrylic paint
Unbranded alphabet dies
Kaisercraft Mini Alpha - Cream letter stickers
Kaisercraft Ice Green pearls

The challenge requires at least three birds to be added.  I started out making my own chicken with corrugated cardboard and paint.  Here's a progress shot (I didn't end up using the paper details).

And the assembled chook:



And then I decided that my fingers weren't nimble enough to make the smaller versions I had planned, so I die-cut some chicks from paper scraps!

Thank you for visiting my blog!
