here's the inside:
This is about as close to a one layer card as I'll ever get. I stamped the card base with a chevron stamp. (I really like the red on red) The brown and yellow die cuts were in the "made for something else but decided not to use, but kept, because I'm sure I'll use it for something else" pile. The chicken and chicks were stamped, colored and fussy cut. I actually stamped and colored the chicken twice. I stamped just the legs on the yellow panel, then added the one complete chicken layer with thin foam squares, then just the head with more foam squares for dimension. (did that make sense? Hope so) Some more stamping finishes the inside.
Now it's your turn. Make a card or project featuring a chicken or any bird (but not the middle finger kind!), and link it up at Shopping Our Stash! Don't forget to check out what my teammies made! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a fantabulous day!

ReplyDeletePS: Your "made for something else but decided not to use, but kept, because I'm sure I'll use it for something else" pile is my "UFO" pile (UnFinished Objects). I think we all have them. :)
love, love, love this! especially the red-on-red chevrons, which i thought was crate paper!!! :) (ps to both you and leslie: yep, i have little baggies with extra diecuts & other "made but not used" elements and i do tend to use them, eventually!) :)
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering why not the 'other' kind of bird? Not that I have one but that felt like a DARE.
ReplyDeleteMe too I have the UFO pile - I'm good for searching through it for something I no longer have :) This is fabulous - love the red-on-red background, and the amazing job you did colouring that chicken! The layered mats are perfect too :)
I double dog dare ya!
DeleteNot the middle finger kind??? I am with Jessi - that feels like a dare...F is for...FINGER
ReplyDeleteLOL
DID you fussy cut those little baby chicks??
Awesome possum!
It was a dare, and I DID fussy cut the baby chicks. (The legs were hell on my eyes! LOL!)
DeleteTotes adorable card -- and kudos for fussy-cutting the chicks (yikes) and the yellow panel behind the frame, cuz that's just a little extra awesomeness. ;)
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Love the image and the sentiment. Very nicely done.
