Yes please! I love chickens for any occassion! I have always wanted chickens. Many years ago I took an old coop from a friend and it sat in my yard for years. Then finally 2 years ago I said this is it, we are getting some, and I love my chick-a-babies! So, I see stamp sets with chickens and am like "yes please"!
This first card was made for my daughter's 18th birthday! I had wanted to put 18 on the front of the card, but my idea was to do it with die cut numbers, but I realized, I didn't have any! LOL, either that or I could not find them in my messy room! I used my Stampin' Up DSP as a backdrop and focal paper. The image and sentiment is from the SU! Hey Birthday Chick set and he is colored in with my SU markers.
Inside I put this cute little chick in his shell with a birthday hat on top!
Also last month was my mother in laws birthday. So, I pulled out the Birthday Chick stamp set again and this time used this crazy little chicken eating a cupcake for my image. At the time my marker supply was pretty limited, so the coloring could use some improvement, but this chicken is so cute, he forgives me. I found a similar card to this online and used it for inspiration- pretty much CASED the whole design. I die cut the banners in lots of bright colored scrap pieces and the sentiment in black and then (pizzaz) rhinestones in black.
Inside, I kept if very simple with a "you're still a spring chicken" sentiment from the same set.
This is such a fun set, I really hope to make some more great cards with it and now that my marker collection is back up to full swing, I can have fun playing with those colored feathers!
Thanks for stopping by today!
