Hey there!
It's Week #1 over at Krafty Chicks Challenge and that means it's time for some stamping! I decided to go with a very apt theme - Angie Blom's "Coolest Chicks Ever" digital stamp set! We raised chickens when I was growing up and they looked a lot like this one at the top!
I sized the chick with the flower necklace (kind of like The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo?!?) to fit an A2-sized card front and printed it onto 100# white card stock. I trimmed the panel and ink blended the background with Distress Oxides, leaving a bit of white space around the chick. I watercolored the image and attached this panel to a top-folding card base. I created the two sentiments on the computer and die cut them both. A strip of red gingham pattern paper was adhered to the bottom and the sentiments were attached on top; a few blue sequins were added to finish up the design!
I just love the expression on her face! I decided to do a second card with one of the other images in the set, "The Chick With The Giant Glasses" and I think I like this one even more than the first! I colored her like a Bantam Hen (we raised this type of chicken, too, and these feisty "Banties" would chase me around the barnyard!)
I really like Angie Blom's illustrations - they have a touch of whimsy and imperfection that I find really fun to work with! This is what the set includes:
Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you'll join us over at the Krafty Chicks Challenge for Week #714 - Stamping! And check out what the Krafty Chicks are up to!
