Easter chickie...

I just could not resist pulling out my gingham background once again...I seriously can not get enough of this stamp right now!! Have you ever had a stamp in your stash like that? It's so fun and versatile. I've used it here, here, & here. I have a ton of ideas to make with it too, how exciting!

This little card was super easy to make. I simply stamped the gingham half way up the card and added the little punched strip. Then I punched the scallop circles and stamped them using the coordinating frame stamps. (Did you realize that DeNami carries little frame stamps that perfectly fit most circle  punches? They even have a printable easy reference sheet. ) I stamped my circle frames then filled them in using the eggs and Easter chickie. After coloring them in I simply added a little foam tape and adhered them in a fun pattern. This would be a great layout using flowers, critters with a matching petit four images or images from any holiday.

Now for some more fun...announcing the winner of the gingham background stamp!! Thank you to everyone that entered :)   I used Random.org to pick the winner and that lucky lady is.....

Purple chickies...

 I just love the Easter chickie! And the best part about Easter and chickies...you can get away with coloring them any color you want!!

I used a lot of traditional Easter pastel colors for this little card but couldn't help coloring that darling chickie purple!
