Rounded Rectangle Window Die Focused Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and in today’s fun Easter card I am using two sizes of the versatile Rounded Rectangle Window dies. As the name suggests these dies help you to create lots of different designs! I opted for two scenic windows using the sweet images from Clucky Chickens.

To start, I die cut a panel from blue striped paper (Striped Silly) with the outer die from Frilly Frames Chevron. Then I played around with different sizes of the Rounded Rectangle Window dies. I knew I wanted to use the big hen house and the scripty Happy Easter (Chickie Baby), so that was decisive in my choice of dies. After creating the two windows, I glued the striped panel to a white card base. With the dies still on my desk, I ran them again through the machine, this time using white card stock. These pieces are the backing for my scenes.

I took my Copic swatch chart to find a blue marker that was approximately the same tone as the lighter stripe of the paper. Now, I was able to draw a little hill on both panels to ground the images. For extra texture I dotted the sky parts of these pieces with the same marker.

After selecting my images from Clucky Chickens and Chickie Baby, I did all the coloring with  Copic markers. White gel pen details made the images pop even more.

Since I kept the inlay panels flat, it was easy to stamp the large sentiment from Chickie Baby in a brown ink from my stash. I glued both background panels in place and mounted the images with foam tape to the card. Adding a few Champagne Clear Jewels finishes this sweet project.

Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Designer's Choice: Clucky Chickens Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm so happy to be back on the blog with this slimline card featuring the cutest chicken neighborhood. I've used the Clucky Chickens only one time since it was released, and that was so fun to color the chicks, baby chicks and hen houses again. And because we're about to turn into the fall season with a brand new release, I thought it'd be fun to make a transition and use some autumn colors on this card.

I started off by stamping all the images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my alcohol markers (Ohuhu, Graph'it and Spectrum Noir)

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Clucky Chickens - chicks, baby chicks, hen houses, hay • Seasonal Trees - trees, birdhouses, birds • Barnyard Buddies - fences • Bunnyville - grass.

Next I cut an 8,5 x 3,5 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel that I colored using oxide inks. I divided my panel horizontally using washi tape, and created a very simple background: grass at the bottom using peeled paint and forest moss distress inks, and the sky at the top using salvaged patina and peacock feathers distress inks. I mixed some forest moss distress ink with water and used a small brush to add splatters to the grass sections, and did the same with peacock feathers distress ink to add splatters to the sky as well. And then I mixed some copic opaque white ink with water, and used my brush again to add splatters all over the panel.

Once my panel was dry, I attached all the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, and added highlights and details to all of them using a white gel pen. I embossed my "Clucky to have you as my friend" greeting from Clucky Chickens in white on dark kraft cardstock, and  trimmed it into a banner that I attached on my panel using foam squares again.

And that's it! I hope you like this lovely little scene. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time.
