Before you go off to buy the app, take a look at this cute card featuring the chick image from this month's Stamp of the Month, Best Bunnies. The cute little chick takes center stage in this clean and simple card.

I colored the chick with Copic markers and carefully cut it out. It’s attached to a turquoise circle with some foam tape. I stamped the image on the circle, too, so that I wouldn’t have to worry about trimming around the legs of the image I had colored. The yellow really stands out against the turquoise backdrop!

I paired the chick with some dotted patterned paper from October Afternoon’s Ducks in a Row collection. I ran a strip of coordinating yellow paper across the cardfront, edged with a rose scalloped strip, then layered the chick image at one end. The “hello chickie” sentiment is stamped in turquoise at the opposite end of the yellow strip.
