What's Up, Home Chicken? + Giveaway!

Y'all. My absolute DREAM is to have chickens. I want chickens so badly I'd probably even break a minor law to have them. My preschool had a goose - who was an absolute terrorist, but the magic of getting eggs when I was little must have imprinted on me, because I've always wanted to be a crazy chicken lady. I have gone on numerous chicken coop tours here just aspirationally. I hope someday. 

Enough about me and my bird dreams. We've got cards to show. 

CHICKEN CARDS for starters. I'm absolutely dying over this sassy chicken die. The cool thing about it is it's very large - so you could do ALL the chicken varieties coloring this thing! 

I just made mine a regular white leghorn style rooster, with subtle gray ink blending on the body and tail and because it's a fancy die, I could ink blend the wattle and little topknot. 

The little fence die I cut from kraft and ink blended. Such a cutie. BOCK BOCK. The sentiment and die are from this set.


Everything I'm going to show you today is from the beautiful spring catalog! You can see the whole thing by clicking the catalog image - but COME BACK!  


It's not spring without a bunny napping on a carrot though, right? I used no-line watercolor and this little bunny on a circle of watercolor paper and then stamped this background on a regular card base to focus your eye on the wabbit! The sentiment is from the same set.


There's some fun mixed media stuff happening in this catalog, and I loved some of the art journal style stamps like this travel themed one. I ink smooshed a big sheet and then used these dies to cut little pennant that were stamped with these collage images. The sentiment is in the same set.


Another beautiful collage style stamp with a French theme is this one. I created the background with wet acrylic blocks and Hero Hues Reactive inks. The sentiment and die are here.


Of course we are having a hop today, with a giveaway, so be sure and leave me a comment to be entered. You can either see the full list below - or click the hop graphic to start at the Hero Blog.

  27. Awesome cards! The chicken card sure makes me smile! She's such a cutie!
    We had chickens when my daughter was young, and she had a favorite hen named Cinnamon. She used to bring Cinnamon in the house and sit on the couch, with the chicken on a towel that was placed across my daughter's lap, watching TV together! That was quite a picture!

  29. That watercolored bunny is just precious! The chicken card is just crazy and as a crazy chicken owner (5 chickens) I'm just waiting for the weather here to get warm enough for them to start laying again. I collect all the dies and stamps containing cute chickens and this one counts as that.
