HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!
A huge "Thank You" to my dear friend, Donna, for this adorable Irish dancer! Now, let's get to my post for today...
Probably the best way to get little spring chicks to 'follow you home' is to transport them in a basket! As a child, "It followed me home" was always the best excuse I could muster for keeping the latest stray pet who needed to be loved and cuddled. Those were usually kittens or puppies, but bunnies or baby chicks would have been welcome, too. I admit I didn't think about transporting them home in a basket but if I had, I would have done it!
This sweet Penny Black stamp takes me back to childhood. :-D
I colored with a combination of water colors and ProMarkers, then cut the image with a Sizzix die. Both of the smaller circles were cut with Sizzix dies also.
I wanted the card design to be CAS so I added no embellishment beyond the die cut circles, simply laying those onto a deep gray, CS, background. The CS was embossed with my Linen folder.

So so cute!!! :)
Remember those soft, fuzzy, pipe-cleaner sort of little chicks that were in our Easter Baskets - gosh, I remember that they were still available when I made my son's baskets up! They were so cute! Your sweet PB kitty has a treasure trove of the real thing, merrily peeping their little hearts out! I would love having chickens here for fresh eyes, and insect patrol, but we have hawks galore in our area, and night time visitors like foxes and coyotes - not sure what my kitty would do. Your card design is darling, and of course, your trademark fun sentiment on the inside! hugs, de
Oh my! Connie this is just the cutest card and love the image of the pussycat with the chicks. Simply adorable.
