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!
