In honor of what must have been two of the most important days in world history, they're celebrating with a Birthday Card challenge.
My own card took all week to figure out. Who knows why. Sometimes the creative whatchamacallits just won't cooperate.
The card base is cut from recycled card stock with Stampin' Up wheels rolled across the top and bottom in, I think, Very Vanilla. The embossing is Martha Stewart copper.
Our chicken friend is provided by Cricut's From My Kitchen collection: So cute, don't you think? The chicken "parts" are from Die Cuts With a View Travel stack (which I found at Marshall's C.H.E.A.P.).
The tag is trimmed from a larger piece made on the Cricut and is embellished with a corduroy brad.
Oh, and the tag sentiment also is embossed with MS copper using a Close To My Heart embossing pen (I'm fairly sure you can use any Zig pen for embossing as it's all pigment ink, but having a tool dedicated to a particular use never makes me cry).
I'm in love with the chicken! What a great card. It was worth pondering for most of the week, CB. It turned out wonderfully!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I like the embossed sentiment, is it one of the new mini su stackable wheels? If so how do you like them?
ReplyDeletethanks for the reply Tracey, You know, I roll my wheels on a regular inkpad and use them that way, works great! I can do a card in one pass, if I am doing a scrapbook page I rool normaly for the first 6" then press harder and I get a nice inked roll the whole way. I too just have a few cartridge inks I got on clearence, they are the rollagraph ones and they fit the SU wheel handles perfect!
ReplyDeleteI love, love the chicken!! So fun!
