Think Spring

 Good Sunday morning all!  I used the Chip The Chick die set and cut three large Chip dies out of custard card.  I cut three of the large eggs in white and glued them on to the Chips that I cut.  I coloured the beak orange and used a pencil to add in the eyes.  I had some yellow feathers in my stash so I added them to each of the chick wings.  I attached the Chips vertically to a piece of white card.  I cut two strips of white card and matted them with a thin black mt.  I added mounting foam to the back of both of the strips and attached them to the sides of the card.  Using the Easter Eggs & Flowers die set, I added flowers down both strips in an assortment of pastel card colours.  I cut the Thing Spring sentiment in black and added it to the centre of the card.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 3/4"  x  8 3/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue.
Spring has sprung this Sunday with a pretty sample from your Easter launch collection and it's so lovely. Hope those blog friends that have been missing are OK, I know June Horrocks is waiting for eye surgery, but sending love to those who may not be so well at the moment.
Stay safe, happy and well. Love to all xxx

Hi Sue, a lovely fun style card. Studying the project pictures I thought I saw feathers and immediately went to look mine out but do you think I could find them, of course not :-( I will have another search (I definitely have too much stuff) but I am wondering if Flowersoft would be a suitable alternative texture, I shall have to try it unless the wonderful Wilsonettes have any other suggestions.
