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!

Here is a close up of the dragonfly that will go on the card for the Glittered Emboss. This is a custom heat emboss that they will learn in class. It was a lot of fun experimenting with this to come up with the just right mixture. I also did Stain Glass on this as well. If you're not familiar with how to do that, it's pretty simple. You stamp a lined image on vellum with Stazon and on the opposite side that you stamped your image on you color the image in. I used an aqua painter.

To me the burst just screams glimmer. What do you think? Here's a picture of the bundle. In the catalog they also show this "blast" on cards as well.
This last card was made by a good friend Dale. She used one of my favorite suites in the Occasion Catalog, Special Reason. This is another bundle you can purchase. I love being able to save 10%! In this sample it shows how different this die is! You can get the image die cut in the paper and if you want you can also cut it out! You can find this on page 42 of the Occasion catalog or simple search for it in my STORE. In the catalog it shows some of the other ways this die is used. If you go to the description of the Spring Sampler it show the two ways as well, HERE.
