Paper Pretties ~ What the Cluck???? You're Egg-specting????

You will understand my title in a minute...but first I want to tell you that my card is based on a new, to me, challenge blog I found called The Spotted Chick! Jeanie, the Spotted Chick herself, is a very talented stamper and I have enjoyed seeing her beautiful creations. Jeanie's challenge this week is to use Kraft CS. Well, that's easy enough!

The sentiment is egg-sactly what any of my friends would say if they were egg-specting!!! hahahahaha!!! The base of this card is Kraft CS, is 4 1/4 square and the decorative paper is from October Afternoon's Modern Homemaker Collection. The darling image, from Paper Pretties and is called ~ What the Cluck?, was stamped on Vintage Cream CS using Black Memento ink. I stamped it a second time on a scrap piece of CS, cut it out and colored using my Copic Markers and Prismacolor Pencils. I LOVE this set! We call our chickens the Clucks and when they don't produce eggs, they are referred to as the "non producing Clucks". I know, I need to get a life!! LOL!!! I colored this little girl the same color as our Rhode Island Red Chickens. Paper Pretties has Cluck part II, which I need to get, as well. It is so cute too!!!

Of course the spotted egg was paper pieced and then I added the sentiment on Kraft CS using Early Espresso ink and tied it on using May Arts Natural burlap string and a Basic Grey button that matched the yellow in the flowers perfectly! The scallop at the bottom of the image is from my SU! scallop punch. The image was then matted with Early Espresso ink. Here is a closer look at the image ~

I adhered the nest directly on the Vintage Cream CS and then used dimensionals to pop up my little hen. Paper Pretties has some darling images so if you get a chance, check out my good friend Heather's store HERE!

That will do it for today! I hope you have a wonderful day!
