This Easter card was made for someone who loves and raises chickens. I made the chick with a Quickutz die from snippets of yellow and orange and gave her a bed of MS punched branches to rest on. The background was a leftover piece from a card made a long time ago and was sponged with a TH stencil and assorted earthy colors of ink. The tag was cut with a SU! scalloped top tag punch and a piece of SU! ribbon was added along with some gold twine. The sentiment was heat-embossed with white using a SU! stamp and a strip of early espresso card stock. I used a diagonal stitched die from Lil Inker to make the 2 panels of card stock and designer paper on the card front and then used it again for the inside...
I've had this Penny Black stamp for years and just love using it to make Easter cards. I colored it with glaze pens and couldn't stop smiling after the card was finished :)
