Miss you Blue Hair Chick! It seems like days and days since I last posted a photo of you. You can see a couple of cards I made with the Hey, Chick stamp set here.
Miss You Blue Hair Chick!
The first thing you might wonder is why in the world did I ever decide to color her (or is it “him”?) with blue hair. The answer is that I love the color blue. And THAT is the best reason ever!
The 4-1-1
- Take the time to let your ink dry – First I stamped the chick using Basic Black Archival ink and let it dry well. I colored her/him with my Stampin’ Write Markers and let that dry even better. In fact, I let it dry until I completed and assembled the entire card. Then I added the glitter, so it wouldn’t smear the ink. Patience is a virtue. And it makes for better hand stamped cards!
- One Stamp. Two Uses – Can you figure out how I made the chicken foot prints on the card front? I used the cup cake sprinkles from Sprinkles of Life stamp set! Would you have thought of that? Award me a point for creativity!!
- At least 6 layers in my card design – When I first started to make cards, I was taught that every card should have at least 6 layers. Excluding the die-cut ovals, this card has 6 layers of cardstock, 2 layers of oval cardstock, 1 layer of ink on the Tip Top Taupe cardstock, 1 layer of ink on the top oval, 1 layer of glitter, and 1 layer of ribbon. Phew! That makes 11 layers! Definitely meets the minimum requirement.
Here are the supplies I used to make this card:

My Favorite?
So what’s my favorite part of this card? Well, probably the chickie. I love her!! Or him!!
Maybe it’s the glitter or ribbon.
Nope, it’s the use of Stampin’ Dimensionals. They really make the blue-haired chick pop!
But, whichever way you look at this card, I can definitely say, “Miss you blue hair chick!“
