Chic Chicks


CAS169 - Inspired by a word or phrase: CHIC
I was ready with sophisticated ladies and elegant clothes. I considered sophisticated and elegant designs. But I just had to be different. I made a family of "chic" chicks for Mother's Day!

Rubbernecker Stamps: chicks (565_06), sentiment (565_1314) Paper: white, SU certainly celery dsp
Ink: Memento black, certainly celery, Copic markers buttercup yellow & honey
Tools: Friskars grass punch
Accessories: ribbon



I've made a board book to document the Rubbernecker Stamps that I own with their corresponding names and numbers. It makes uploading information so much faster and serves as an inventory to remind me what I have, especially with sentiments. The chicks on are the let page.


The Mother's Day sentiments is on left side.
