I love it when I can participate in a few challenges. This card is going into the Paper Players PP773 - Balloons and Birthdays challenge.
Since I'm also using brand new products I'll be posting over on the NBUS #83 challenge as well.
Here is my card:
Don't you just love how hilarious that chicken is!
For this card I used the, Still Peckin' Fabulous stamp set from Unity Stamp Company. - It features 2 super funny chickens (with balloons) and several fun sentiments.
I stamped the image on white card stock and colored with Prisma Colored Pencils. After coloring the image I created a mask and then used a cloud/grass stencil (All Night Media) that I've had for years to create a little scene around the image. I also added Diamond Glaze to the balloon. I used a piece of colorful polka dot paper (source not known) and layered it on a piece of Granny Apple Green cs and cut it out with a Unity Scallop/Rectangle die. I ran part of it through a Chicken Wire embossing folder as well. Photo corners were added (punch is ek success). Enamel dots were added as well. The sentiment is from the stamp set. Image and sentiment were mounted with foam tape. I also added 2 black pearls to the center of the eyes. Glitter was added to the hat and candles.
Card stock colors: Bermuda Bay (I miss that one a lot), Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight, Basic White and Basic Black (SU).
Close-ups of some of the details:
You can see that the patterned paper has some indented portions that have shimmer to them.
Card has been sent to the recipient, I hope he gets a kick out of it.
OMG, how cute. That chicken is the best and such a good sentiment to go with it on the front. Perfect card.
