Angela (SCS name: monekymama) is hosting a 'Chicks Rule' kit swap on Splitcoast Stampers. The kits are my new favorite type of swap because not only do I get to choose fun images and accessories to coordinate, but then I receive five sets back of other swapper's kits and see what goodies they've included!
My first card is the sample I created for my spot in the 'Anything Goes' category. Since my favorite 'chick' activity is coffee with friends, I thought these Bellas would be perfect. Add in a little stamping, and it gets even better! The sketch is a window layout inspired by So Sketchy November #1:
This Magnolia card is for the category 'Chicks'. The sketch is Card Pattern's Sketch #40; Tilda's dress is paper-pieced:
Stamps: Magnolia 'Tilda with Chicks'. Cardstock: Coredinations, PaperStudio DP, black, DCWV 'Citrus Stack', Papertrey white. Ink: Memento black, Copics. Accessories: Nestabilities Rectangles, yellow satin ribbon, Bazzill black gingham ribbon, brads, feathers.
I used a computer-generated sentiment for the inside panel, which was also decorated with a few extra Magnolia chicks:
OH! I love that Penny Lane paper - I've used it on several projects. But the feathers are AWESOME!!! What a fun touch! Great cards.
