One Chick to Another

Wow, I can't believe this is my third post today. Don't get too used to it though! LOL! Taking yesterday off seems to have kicked me into high gear today.

I made this card for a combination of two challenges: Kristina Werner's Colour Inspiration Challenge #37 and Taylor's Cupcake Challenge #50.

The stamps are brand new...picked them up yesterday at Ink About It (told you there were lots of things jumping into my basket). Really...how could I resist these little birds! They're a set of four, Decorative Birds, from Hero Arts. The sentiment is by A Muse. I stamped the birds with Memento black onto Gina K pure luxury and coloured them with copics. I popped the wings on the top and bottom birds. Then I punched each bird with a circle punch, 1 1/4" for the largest, then 1 1/8", then 1" for the smallest. I layered them onto circles of chocolate chip that were punched just 1/8" larger the the image. I had them lined up and was about to adhere them when I touched one and it moved so it was offset on the chocolate circle...hmmm...that seemed to work nicely with these quirky birds so I offset them all. I love it when there's a happy accident in stamping.  :)

I attached an SU mini library clip to each one and tied a piece of olive ribbon (it's a retired SU ribbon). The card base is Gina K 120 lb pure luxury, followed by a layer of chocolate and a layer of baja breeze. I rounded the bottom corners of each layer. Once my chicks were attached with dimensionals, I stamped the sentiment and pierced the 'hangers' for each one. My last step was attaching a piece of chocolate felt ribbon (again, SU from this past Holiday Mini). 

That's it...pretty quick and simple, as seems to be the theme of my day. When my card was all done I wanted to show someone...Shadow (our mini schnauzer) just happen to come into my stamp room (probably cause it was feeding time) so I put the card down at his level and said "Shadow, come see what I made". He actually sauntered over, stood real close looking at the card then looked up at me and grunted. Too funny!!! I swear he understands everything I say.

Tonight is movie night so I'll be colouring images. {wink!}  :)

Thanks for stopping by!
