Easter chick

This is one of the cards that I designed for the cardmaking workshop that I help to run. It's easy to make, but gives a good result. I've cut out a chick shape in yellow card and cut round the top part with shaped scissors to make it fluffy looking. A piece of ribbon is stuck across the middle with double sided tape and the feet are punched out hearts stuck on with 3D foam. The beak is a diamond shape bent in half and stuck on so that the beak will open. The eyes are two little punched stars, and this one is finished with a punched butterfly and two satin daisies in her 'hair'. Happy Easter is stamped with Hero Arts Dot-Letter Alphabet LL100.

 

For the workshop, I decided to cut out all the chicks ready. I left the ladies, and one man to chose if they cut the hair and which pattern. I cut it for one lady as it was a bit too fiddly for her. The feet and beaks and eyes were all ready, but there was a choice of colours and there were lots of ribbons to choose from. Everyone seemed to enjoy making their chicks and some making several.
