Greetings!
Today's card is meant to bring a smile to your face. The Birthday Chick stamp set has adorable, whimsical chickens and the Birthday Chick Dies bring it to the next level with accessories like the fence that this chicken is dancing on.
I knew I wanted the chicken dancing on the fence, and love this look of the diagonal pieces exposing a "ray" of the gingham checked paper from the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper (DSP). Framing the white pieces with the Polished Pink cardstock, and carrying through the pink in her little bow and in the message gives this card a definite party vibe.
Who knew chickens could be so cute!
