A Fabulous Chick Card

The last couple days have been perfect summer days – warm temperatures but no humidity! A/C off; windows open; feeling good! Mmmmmhhhh. This could be coming to an abrupt change as they are now predicting a heat warning for the weekend with temperatures about 33C (91F) but humid so it could feel like 40C (104F)…okay, that’s a bit too hot even for me but it will cool off again after a couple of days. And of course, we could get a thunderstorm tomorrow too but so far they keep missing us. We could use an all day rain.

I thought I’d leave you with a humourous card that I made last week.

This is a Stampin’ Up stamp that I bought last year and the set is called ‘Hey Chick’. The chicken was coloured with pencils and blended with gamsol. The stitched oval is a Stampin’ Up die but the other two die cuts are Spellbinders. I found that patterned paper in the stash and it was close to the burnt orange oval and label so I paired it with the yellow to pick up the yellow in the chicken. The sentiment was computer generated. I just make up a lot of my own sentiments and print them out. This one may go to my cousin whose birthday is next month. I usually make two or three cards for one person and then pick the one I like the best – or get hubby to pick one.

That’s all for a perfect summer Friday, June 15, 2018. Have a wonderful weekend everyone and I’ll be back on Monday with another posting.

Cheers

Violet
