Eggciting News
Well, I don’t have any eggciting news but a friend of mine does so I brought out one of my favorite retired sets to make this card for her. Though the day will come that I’ll part with my Best of Cluck, for now we’re still on good terms and this darn chicken simply makes me smile.
I colored her with Stampin’ Pastels and dressed her up with my Linen Prints papers. The Offray ribbon is some I’ve had for a long time and, gosh, the colors were a perfect match — that was pretty eggciting! It’s the little things… The ribbon wanted to fray so I encouraged it because the look seemed to go with the rest of the card.
If you haven’t yet, be sure and take a look at the blog candy in my previous post. It just might be your day to win! Have a happy day!
