Hello there crafty friend!
I'm so excited to see some new chickens released over at Unity and they are all dressed up for the holidays so I'm even more excited to add to my stash of holiday cards for the Christmas in July {BYSHC} Linky Party that is happening now!
I inked up both chickens from the Wingin' It This Holiday stamps and colored them up with Copic markers. Aren't they just too much fun?! I love the mix of sentiments included with them. It was hard to pick just one!
Here's a list of the Copic markers I used:
White Chicken: C0, C2, YR21, YR15, YR27
Hat: R20, R14, R27, C0, C2
Present: E21, E23, E57, R20, R14, R27
Brown Chicken: C0, C2, E21, E23, E57, YR21, YR15, YR27
Lights: Y11, Y06, YG11, G02, R20, R14, B000, B00
Ground: C0, C2
I hope you'll stop by the Christmas in July 2025 {BYSHC} Linky Party to check out all the wonderful Holiday inspiration being shared! And maybe even play along!
I die cut the chicken panel using a die from the Scallops & Rectangles {nesting dies} and then I tore the top and bottom. I trimmed a piece of pattern paper from the Watercolor Tidings {paper pack} to 4-1/4 x 4". I die cut two scraps of white card stock using the longest edge of the same die I used on the chicken panel. I distressed them just a little bit so they weren't bright white. I also distressed the chicken panel. I mostly used the residue ink on my brown blending brush but I might have used a little more Vintage Photo Distress Ink.
I adhered the scalloped strips to the chicken panel and then adhered the panel to the red A2 top fold card base. I distressed the sentiment just a smidge and trimmed the words up to adhered individually to the card. I wrapped the front of the card with natural burlap string a few times and then tied a pretty bow to finish off the card.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Inky hugs,
Crystal
