I thought this stamp by Rubber Soul (http://www.rubbersoul.com/stamp_deta...andCode=1142-G ) was adorable... but wasn't sure how to actually put it to use. Then, one day I was browsing Gina K's store and found this sentiment! How PERFECT?!? I had to snatch it up right away!
I used another Gina K set (Scalloped Frames & Doodles - Large Circles) to frame the hen & her chicks. Then I took a fine tipped marker to change the dashed lines into "chicken prints". I just love it when things come together!
Most of the supplies used for this card came from Paper Pretties Corner Store (www.paperpretties.net) All of the paper is from my recent PP card kit. The bright red paper has a hint of sheen to it and is really pretty. The printed paper included is by Cosmo Cricket (Dutch Girl Collection). I used two of the ribbons from the kit to add a little softness.
The photo corner was made by this punch (http://littlepinkflowers.typepad.com...attic_corner_p) I can't believe I actually use to cut these out by hand! Now in half a second, I have a perfect corner with all the right angles. LOVE IT!
