Little chicken

Happy Easter to everyone who visits my blog this week!

This is my virtual Easter card just for you.

Isn't it the simplest and cutest little chicken ?

I spotted a card on pinterest made by Sharon Burkett and I simplified the design down to this.

 My little chicken is made using the 1 3/8 inch (that's 3.5cm) circle punch and the bird punch (wings) with Daffodil Delight card stock.

My background is a technique called masking. Where you punch out two scallop circles and use them as a mask while you sponge a soft blue ink. Gradually moving the scallop masks downwards till you cover the page with fluffy white clouds.
