Hey Chick!

I made this card for today's featured stamper challenge on SCS. It's loosely based on this card in Liz's gallery.

I used the Hey Chick! stamp kit from Unity Stamp Co. for my card. I liked how Liz stamped the sentiment repeatedly on the large panel of her card,so for mine, I stamped the sentiment on a light pink panel in a slightly darker pink ink. Instead of stamping in alternating colors, I stamped in one color and adjusted the placement of the words on each line. I used the Stamp-a-ma-jig to line it up just right. It really wasn't time consuming--it just looks like it was.

I colored one of the bird images from the set using Copic markers, then carefully trimmed around it. It was colored to match the vivid colors in the striped paper I used on the cardfront, keeping with the stripes used on the front of Liz's card. I added some Stickles to highlight parts of the bird, too. I ended up layering the bird on a pair of circle mats instead of attaching it directly to the sentiment panel. I also added a piece of blue satin ribbon to bring in just a little more of the blue that I used to color the bird image.
