Nice Normal Family

Hello friends, my card today has been created using one of the fun stamp sets from Sparkle N Sprinkle - Chicken Run stamp set. I love those chickens and the sentiments that come with them - we actually have a sign with this saying on it! LOL!


I have inked the image using Imagine Memento Inks along with a White Gel Pen to add some highlights to the Chickens and sponged the sky background also using Memento Inks.


The image has been cut/embossed using Spellbinders Celebrations Pierced Ovals , then the background has been sponged using various inks.  I have used my sponge daubers and not added any extra ink - they are usually 'fully loaded'!  The sentiment has been stamped to the top portion of the Pierced Ovals. 


The Border has been embossed using the Shapeabilities Stitched Borders Etched Dies Quilt It by Lene Lok onto blue card stock, the leaves have been sponged using Imagine Memento Ink in Bamboo Leaves and outlined using a White Gel Pen.

 This has been layered onto a pre-cut card base using A2 Matting Basics B Card Creator.  A burlap strip has been adhered across the centre of the card front, with feathers, a flourish and button..
