I love these little chickies!! I have a feeling they are going to get lots of use! For my card, I started by stamping Honeycomb Background on a watercolored background with Versamark and heat embossed with Pewter embossing powder, which really makes it look like chicken wire! Love it when a product can do double duty, don’t you? Then I cut some Birch Wood Adhesive Backed Sheet with Collage Cover-Up and popped it up on foam.

The sentiment was stamped on the long strip and adhered directly to the card front. Lots of chicks and balloons were stamped and colored and added to the Collage Cover-Up and it was pretty much done!

Next up is a gorgeous set called Splendid Swans—and they are indeed splendid.

First I created a watercolor background and cut it out with Linked Octagon Frames Die-namics. I added version, cut from Gold Sparkle card stock and adhered it onto the watercolored layer. Makes it look like stained glass, doesn’t it? I adhered it to the card base along with two of the swans, some cat tails, and a water lily—just lovely images!

The sentiment was heat embossed with Gold Fine Detail Embossing Powder on Black Licorice card stock and popped up on foam.

And that’s it from me today—thanks so much for stopping by! See you tomorrow for Day Three!
