More Birthdays!

I hope you enjoyed yesterday's birthday card. Today's card is much different. It needs to be, because it's a different person! I wanted to use more Sale-a-Bration stuff, so for this one the Hey Chick set was perfect!

The recipient of this card has a farm and raises chickens, so as I said, this set was perfect for her. Again I scanned Pinterest and CASEd (Copy And Share Everything) another card. I don't think I changed anything on this one.
As you can see, chickens! The DSP (Designer Series Paper) I used here is called Serene Scenery. It's in the annual catalog on page 174. The paper is a 6x6 stack. The images are like photos and must say very realistic looking. This piece looks just like a barn! Yes I know, barns aren't usually this color, but it has that old worn feel to it. This piece would also work great on a card with a beach theme too! Don't you think? For the "Hey, Chick!" I also used Banners For You, for the image around the words, and die cut it out with Bunch of Banners Framelits. Of course I could have easily cut this out, but who would, when you have the dies!

Here is a close up of the chickens. I  used Stazon Black ink to stamp the chickens because I was watercoloring them in and didn't want the black to run into the colors and get all muddy. The colors I used were Bermuda Bay (love this color!), Old Olive, Delightful Dijon, Pumpkin Pie, and Tangerine Tango. The chicken in the front I stamped on Thick Whisper White because it holds up better then the regular. I also fussy cut the front chicken. For one card, that was nothing. If I was doing a whole bunch of them, FORGET IT! Don't get me wrong, I don't mind fussy cutting, it just gets monotonous real quick!

This recipient also is not a stamper, or crafter at that! But she is wonderful with animals! I'm sure I won't be ruining the surprise for her either, but you never know!
