Chick to Chick

Hello everyone and happy April Fools Day! Hopefully April starts with some sunshine in your corner of the world. We're expecting rain, snow and wind today and chilly weather in the next few days. Yesterday it was a bit over 70 degrees F (above 20 degrees C) then we had some storms move through the area which brought the cold weather. Typical April weather!! 

A new month means it's time for another challenge at the Four Seasons challenge blog and we want to see all your new spring themed cards and crafts! As always there is a fabulous optional mood board too if you need a starting point.

I can't believe Easter is just about a week away!! I haven't made many Easter cards this year but I was inspired by the cute chick on our mood board so I got out my Chick to Chick stamp set from Penny Black. 

I stamped on  Neenah 80lb card stock and colored with my Faber Castell Polychromos pencils then used a circle Nestabilities die to cut it out and layered onto a scalloped circle die cut which I inked with Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide ink. 

Green patterned paper is from my stash. On the white background I used a Lavinia Stencil with the same yellow ink. The sentiment is an oldie wood mounted stamp also by Penny Black. I embellished with a butterfly die cut (Penny Black die Soaring), sticky pearls and green jute twine.
