Chicken in on you

I'm back with another card made from some of the stamps I picked up on Saturday.  I love the cute little animals, just wish they stamped a little crisper.

I made this card for my sister who has been recovering for about 11 weeks, after falling off a ladder at work.  

Darcie's Stamps - Barnyard Buddies

I stamped the adorable chicken from the Barnyard Buddies set.  A very easy image to color with Copics.  I paired it with papers from the brand new Doodlebug Fall Friends 6x6 paper pad, and added a little Glossy Accents to the feet, beak, and other parts of the chicken.  Hopefully this little guy will bring a smile to her face.  

Thanks for stopping by,

Melanie

Bootiful Halloween

I went to a stamp expo on Saturday and picked up some new stamps sets.  Although I am not thrilled with how they stamp (very thin and not clear lines) I do really like the stamp images themselves.  I stayed up late playing with them.

I stamped the images and colored them with my Copics, and then practiced my cutting skills.  I inked the background with Tim Holtz distress inks and drew in a little fence and grass.  I was happy with the end results.

I did some water drops on the background, as well as a white gel pen.
