Wicked Chickens!

When I got home from work tonight, I was excited to find three of Lin Brown's new stamp sets for Paperartsy... so, even though Liverpool are playing (and losing as I write) I had to in them up.. I started with the "wicked chickens" set.


I stamped the two chicks on white smoothy card and coloured them with Lin's Limited Edition paints, Banana, Tangerine Twist and Bougainvillea. I used the grass from the houses set, using Chartreuse Fresco to give them something to stand in, and the dotty background with Caribbean Sea, in the sky.  I stamped the two sentiments from the houses set, and cut them up and used bits of each, outlining them once I'd stuck them on the card, with black pen.  I edged the card with Caribbean Sea and fixed it to a card blank.

hope to get time to play with the rest of the stamps, tomorrow!

Thanks Lin, and Paperartsy, for some fabulous new "stuff" !!!


**EDIT.  We won. Hurrah!!

    Oooo lucky you! Love those chickens - mine are hopefully winging their way up north to me as we speak! And I know you'll be happy now as I just saw Liverpool won :-)

    Luv 'em Helen! This card is really going to make somebody smile big! I got mine today too but the other set of birdies & a house set ;-). Well done for being so quick off the mark with a make.

    I love how you had these two facing each other. Lovely use of Lin's new colours too! I'm so pleased that these 'wicked chickens' were the first ones you played with. xxx

    Your edit made me laugh!

    Blimey but you are quick when you get new things to play with! I still need to break in the stencils I got with my Stocking swap!
