Spring Chicken

Hello there! How are you? I do hope you are well. Its time for a new challenge at stamps and stencils and the theme this time is bright colours with a spring feel. Here's what Ruth had to say about the challenge.

Theme: On the Bright Side - It may still be winter but it's a brand New Year, the days will be soon getting longer, and pops of bright colours will soon start to appear in the garden. This month I'd like you to dazzle us by useing lots of bright colours in your Spring themed creations ...and don't forget to use stamps or stencils.

Well it all sounds lovely to me! I decided to make a card for my aunty who will be 85 next week. I thought along the lines of flowers and then came across a stamp set from Lisa Horton and decided to be a bit cheeky and make her chuckle!!!



The background was made using distress inks, oxides and a TH stencil. The gnome and chickens were made using leftover distress oxide coloured card and some red and yellow card plus a green pencil. I stamped in black versafine and fussy cut and layered up the colours. I do hope she isn't offended!!!!

You can see the amazing work from my teamies here.
