My process of making a card is probably all messed up compared to the "big boys". After getting a sketch idea I usually pick the image I want to use then look for some paper that may (or may not) look good with it. Then I color the image - and proceed to sit and stare at the entire mess for about two days!!!!! Sometimes it gets made into a card and sometimes it's still sitting there for another six months. This little guy just looked like he needed to go on a shaker card so there he is....and he didn't have to sit on my desk for six months wondering why I wasn't using him!
A list of things I used: Chick Magnet stamp set from TAWS, Copic, stitched die from Lil Inker, cloud dies embossed with Swiss Dots folder, acetate from a dear blogging friend, patterned paper and sequins from Lawn Fawn, and a scrap of patterned paper from a Simon Says Stamp kit.
I'll enter this in the challenge The Alley Way Stamps and Darnell's Blog (NBUS) (The Chick Magnet set is brand new and never been used. I'd also like to enter it in Pixie's Crafty Workshop (snippets).
I'll bet he is so glad he got picked to be on a card right away and the rest of us are also glad. He is darling. This is so darn cute especially with that sentiment. A friend of mine uses that statement all the time, so I may have to put this set on the wish list. Have a fun day.

ReplyDeleteLoved reading your card-thought-design process. Mine is the image first, then I have to find designs & things to do with it! Your procedure worked out fine on this shaker card, cause this little chickster looks very cute perched as you have him. I've yet to make a shaker card, so you're braver than I. He's totally, like - cute, dude! Good job. TFS & Hugs.
ReplyDeleteOMGosh Lynn, this is the cutest shaker card and boy am I glad he didn't sit on your desk for 6 months! lol I love this chick and yes, I would say he is a chick magnet. lol I am so impressed with your coloring and wish I could color like this. Loving those sequins, was just looking at some tiny flower sequins like you used. You rocked this one my friend! Hugs Brenda

ReplyDeleteFun, Fun card. I just love that cute chick magnet image- and love that shaker- the image sitting on the edge of the cut out is brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI love this little guy and your coloring is fantastic, Lynn! I'm momentarily back online and my new internet connector box is supposed to be delivered this afternoon (fingers crossed) so maybe the connection problems will be resolved and I can make my regular visits. :-D
ReplyDeleteThere is NO way anyone with a heart could let that bug-eyed chicken sit on their desk, staring at them, for any length of time, Lynn! Talk about having your product "speak" to you!! And I agree, like it or not, you HAD to put him front and center on a shaker! A+++ in every way, my friend, including coloring!! Thank you so much for entering him in my NBUS Challenge #3!! Have a great weekend!! Hugs, Darnell
