Spring Chicks Card

The idea for this card has been rattling around in my head for a while, so I'm glad I was able to make some time this weekend to bring it to life!  I thought it would be fun to color the chicks the same color as their dyed Easter eggs.

I used Pretty in Pink, Peach Pie, Lemon Lolly, Pool Party, and Petunia Pop DSP (cut from 3 1/2"-4" x 3/4") and Stampin' Blends with my Easter Joy bundle.   The eggs & chicks were all stamped with Basic Gray ink. (The DSP is from the Easter Joy suite or from last year's 6"x6" DSP.)  I colored each chick's beak with Dark Daffodil Delight beak and the chicks themselves with the light coordinating Stampin' Blends (Shaded Spruce for the Shy Shamrock chick).

Does anyone else still have a collection of decorative scissors from way back in the day?  I picked one to "crack" each egg and then had fun posing each chick with its egg.

 I finished off the card with 2024-26 In Color Shimmer Gems.  Chicks, I hope this card brightens your day!
