EASTER CHICKS

Hi Creative Friends,

Concord & 9th has a new release out, and it has some super cute stamps and dies. One of them is the Chicken Challter. These little chicks and Mama chickens are adorable and can be used to just say hi, add a happy birthday sentiment, or Happy Easter like this card. I am amazed at how versatile this set can be!

Since it is nearing Easter, I leaned into the Easter theme. I started with the background. I wanted my Easter chicks (and Mama chicken) to be free-range, so I created a meadow-like background using an A2-sized Concord & 9th Sea Glass cardstock panel. I then stamped it with sweet little flowers from the stamp set. I used Aqua Sky ink and a Posca pen for the white dot clusters. The panel was mounted to a matching white cardstock card base.

Using a few Concord & 9th cardstock scraps, I cut out the Happy Easter, Mama chicken, and a couple of chicks from the die set. They were assembled, and the beak and comb of my Mama chicken was stamped using Spiced Cider ink.

The last step was to arrange my sentiment and mini ‘flock’ and add them to my card front.

That was all there was to it! I hope you enjoyed this light-hearted card design and are inspired to give this stamp and die set a try. I know I will be using it again soon for a cute Just Because card to send my daughter. She raises chickens and sells eggs nearby so I know it will be a hit! ♥
