Pink and Yellow Easter Chicks

Here is the first of the two designs of my Easter cards this year. I have also entered it into a number of challenges.

• Everybody Art Challenge - #83 - Easter
• Simon Says Challenge - Easter and Glimmer
• Charisma Cardz Challenge - #12 - Spring Has Sprung
• Stampin' For The Weekend Challenge - #35 - Easter
• Pollycraft Challenge - #36 - Sparkly Things

The image, from the Penny Black Garden Friends stamp set, was stamped using Versafine Onyx Black archival pigment ink and coloured using the Copic Sketch markers.

• Chicks: Y00, Y08, Y17
• Beaks/Feet: YR02, E13
• Flowers: R20, YR02
• Grass: YG07, YG17

The sentiment was added using a combination of two stamps. The 'Happy' was taken from the 'Happy Birthday' stamp from the Woodware Jane's Script Sentiment stamp set and the 'Easter' from the Easter Egg stamp from the See D's Easter Kit.
The image was matted onto yellow Core'dinations card and pink card embossed using the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder.
A strip of the pink distressed bubble paper, from the K&Co The Best of K&Co Too paper pad, was punched along both edges with the Martha Stewart Eyelet Lace border punch. This was then layered onto a strip of the yellow Core'dinations card and the yellow tulip paper, also from the K&Co pad.
The image was added over the border strip and a yellow paper flower from The Crafty Cow was added in the bottom-right corner. Yellow faux gems were added along the border strip and in the centre of the flower.
