One Cool Chick

The theme for the current Paper Smooches challenge is animals.  I turned to another one of my favorite classic Paper Smooches sets, Chubby Chums, for my card for the challenge.  I colored up the cute chick image with Copic markers, then cut out the colored image.  I'm working on using up the bits and pieces of patterned paper scraps I have in my stash and I found a fun one to use behind the cheerful chick.  I layered the patterned paper and a coordinating green cardstock panel, angling them for interest, then placed them on a light green card base.  A pale aqua fishtail flag strip was sandwiched between the two panels, then the chick image was added on top using foam tape for dimension.  I stamped the "you're one cool chick" from the My Peeps set on a small circle die cut. After trimming the right edge of the circle straight, I positioned it at the right edge of the patterned paper panel. A trio of teal enamel dots arranged around the fishtail flag strip completed the design.
