Birthday Chick

Usualy at the beginning of the month I get my progressive images stamped out and colored and then when I card design comes up that I like I just put it together. Well, this has been a busy month and I've had my images colored and ready but haven;t used them yet. So I threw this card together today in hopes of getting some of these done by the end of the month. Yikes! We're getting so close.

So this adorable little critter is from Di's Digis and it's the stamp for May at The Outlawz Progressive Freebie challenge. I love adding special little touches to image with white gel pens so you can see that I embellished the image with little touch ups here and there. I colored the image with Spectrum Noir markers and die cut with Spellbinder's Tear Drop Circles. The background designer paper was still on my desk from an earlier card so I decided to use it again. I seem to be on a colorful kick lately. Maybe because it's so dreary and rainy here. I used peacock feathers distress ink to ink the die cut and then colored the edge with a Y15 Copic. The sentiment is from Gina K Birthday Greetings stamp set. Pretty easy but I love all the color.
I am entering these challenges:

• The Outlawz Progressive challenge: use the image from Di's Digis
• Atlantic Hearts Sketch challenge: sketch 
  
• QKR Stampede: things with wings
• 2 Crafty Critter Crazies: use a critter
• Digi Choosday: anything goes
• Tuesday Throwdown: anything goes

Well, that's it for me today. I am off to watch the twins this afternoon/evening. Hope your week is going well!
