I recently made a discovery of a whole series of clip art work called "Chicken Wisdom" by artist Linda Finstad. I love them all !! This one, I printed in grayscale, then colored with gel pens and Sanjoki markers. I cut it with a die from Tonic Studios, and added top and bottom border strips of embossed, red CS. I added a red, rick-rack bow and called it finished.
One of the things I love about Linda Finstad's art work is that it generally works for either guy or gal, but since I have more males in my extended family than I have ladies, I prefer to make masculine cards. However, this time I used it for my oldest granddaughter's birthday card. Since the image is pretty much gender neutral, it works for anyone!
I know she's expecting a card with a dragon because she and I both adore dragons and I collect dragons from many different artists to make cards all her cards. I did my best to convince her that these were a newly discovered species of dragon called "Chicken Dragons." I'll let you know how well that went.
