A Birthday Cackle

Welcome

It's time for our mid-month inspiration post for We Love Stamping,
where our challenge is Anything Goes, with an optional theme of (real) Birds or Animals.


I love this sassy chick from the (discontinued) Art Impressions Spring Chicken set.
I coloured her with my Polychromo pencils, and then used an old set of sentiment stamps for the greeting, which I cut by hand to form a speech bubble


I mounted Miss Sassy on foam dots over a faux wooden panel I had created, then I cut the base of the card front to form a trellis.


 I embellished the trellis with three layered diecut flowers, and some die cut leaves that I dabbed onto a die inkpad to add interest


I layered some micro beads in gold to add texture to the flower centres.

I am linking this to:
The chick was stamped on, and the flowers and leaves cut from, snippets.
