Hello Spring Chicken

 

Today's card was created for the latest AAA Birthday card challenge. I created this card by stamping the adorable chicken from Art Impressions Spring Chicken Stamp set onto white Copic-friendly cardstock using Memento tuxedo black ink. I colored the image using my alcohol markers and cut the image out using a stacking Spellbinders circle die. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set and cut that into a banner. I rounded the edges by using a smaller circle die and just cut the bottom portion of the banner. I layered pretty patterned papers from Simple Stories Summer Lovin' 6x8 paper pad onto some light blue cardstock from my stash. I adhered the sentiment banner and the focal panel directly to the card base and finished the card off with some faux black dashed lines.
