Spring Chick

Hello!

I don't make many Easter cards but I couldn't resist the cute characters in the Eggstraordinary Egghunt set from Create A Smile:



I watercoloured the cute chick with distress inks and stamped the sentiment on a little speech bubble die from Simon Says.  I added some hand stitching to indicate the grass and sky and left the ends loose.  Not sure I like them - they don't look as scruffy in real life!

This design is a CASE of Anne's great card from Less Is More:


I will also enter it in to Simon's Wednesday Challenge with a spring theme and at the fabulous Darnell's NBUS Challenge:


I hope you like my spring chick - I think that he will pop up again soon :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Sarah x

    I love your cute chick Sarah and the stitching looks like the scraps that all birds wander around with at this time of year to make their nests! Love your take on my card

    Gosh, if it were up to me, Sarah, you'd have been showcased at LIM for this outstanding and adorable CASE of Anne's cute card! I adore it!! That whacky stitching just sends me ~ and you did it by hand!! Well, I think it's unique and genius!! Thank you so much for playing in my NBUS Challenge #4! Hugs, Darnell
