Birthday chick

I'm always slightly out of my "comfort zone" (I hate that expression!) with one-layer cards but thought I'd give it a go ... and I love how it turned out :)

I used an old Whipper Snapper image - masked it off to use my chicken wire stencil and then overstamped with this Gummiapan text block stamp.
Chicken coloured with polychromos and clear gloss added to the balloon, his beak and feet, and sparkle to his red comb.  My lines down the edge are a couple of Paper Smooches border dies.

Great card! I hadn't thought of using both a stencil and a background stamp, but they make a unique background. I like it!

Super card Lynne! Love the subtle background stencilling and stamping and the focal image is just so cute and fun. Thanks for playing at AAA Cards, hope to see you join in with future challenges too.
