Spring Chick Card

Hello lovelies, it's been a minute since I last blogged. I've had some major computer and network issues at home that I thought I'd never see resolved but finally, they're resolved!  Nothing worse than life issues intruding on your creativity, am I right? 

Today's card features the new Hops and Peeps stamp set and other products from Catherine Pooler Designs, along with many other products that you'll find linked at the end of this post. Scroll down for some creative details.

Deciding on ink colors was my first priority. I absolutely love the many colors of Spring but pinks, yellows and greens are my absolute favorite colors. I used Catherine Pooler Coral Cabana, Catching Rays and In The Park to stamp my sentiment. Isn't it just gorgeous? My Misti stamp positioner helps to accomplish multiple stamping without messing up a thing. For my little chick, I colored with Copic Markers and you can see the markers I used at the end of this post under the shopping links.

I cut my egg using dies from the Catherine Pooler new Egg Hunt dies, then did some ink blending with Coral Cabana and Catching Rays, leaving a little white space in the middle. Then I used my blender brushes along with my heart stencil from Scrapbook.com and inked over my egg with the same colors.

Bonus tip: If you leave your die cut in place on your cardstock after cutting and tape your metal die in place, you can carefully ink blend with your stencil and leave a white edge around your die cut. (as pictured above)

The background die is actually one I've had in my stash that hasn't been used much, although I do love it. It's from Reverse Confetti and I stacked my white cardstock and a piece of Happy Mama patterned paper for one cut, running it through my die cut machine several times. Then I just switched out the white window for my patterned paper window. Easy!

All of my papers and cardstock are adhered flat except for my chick and egg which is popped up on adhesive foam circles for dimension.

 I just love this happy spring card so much! I'll be using these stamps and dies a lot for spring tags, treat bags and more. And of course, more cardmaking! Thanks so much for popping in.
