~ Chicken Feathers ~
March 7th, 2007
Took at peek at the Splitcoast Technique Lover’s Challenge from Monday (since I have some extra time this afternoon). Man oh Man! Frayed Ribbon! Perfect for my little chick card!
This card was hard to photograph because the bottom 1″ is cut from the front panel so that “thinking of you” shows through on the closed card. This lone chick is another of Anna Wight’s, paper genius, new releases over at WhipperSnapper Designs.
The chick is watercolored with an aquapainter and Classic ink from Stampin’ UP! The card base is Cool Caribbean and the polka dot paper from the Polka & Paisley line in the new Spring Mini. Scalloped punch is from Marvy Uchida. I’d recommend a place to buy, but I think they are like a needle in a haystack these days, something about importing issues, I think.
I have used a little glitter to accent the flower in the chick’s mouth and some of the white polka dots. The pink grosgrain ribbon is frayed by snipping off the outer edge of the ribbon and then shredded apart. Voila! Chicken Feathers!
Stay tuned for some new SU! designs tomorrow! I need to create a few samples for my classes and workshops this month.
