Both of these sets are so adorable and fun to play with so it was hard to choose one project to share.  I used the digital sets for my cards and actually set it up on my computer first to determine the size I wanted to print.  This is the fun of digital – you can use any size to make what you want.

I printed three different birds from both sets two times on white cardstock and colored them with alcohol markers.  I die cut one of each with Spellbinders’ Circle dies.  These were layered on slightly larger circles of sticker paper and Cherry Lemonade glitter was added to the remaining exposed adhesive.  I fussy cut the bodies of the three remaining images, popped these on top, and used a glue pen to add Raspberry Soda and Sunny Daze glitter to the accessories.  The three circles were popped up on the embossed card front (who could resist using a chicken wire embossing folder).  This was layered on a slightly larger piece of cardstock lined with Tear-ific Tape and more Cherry Lemonade glitter was added.  The sentiment was layered this way, too, and popped up on the front.  And with a saying like that, I just had to add a few feathers from my stash.

While working with these chicks, I thought about how as a child at Easter we would get baby chicks that were somehow dyed different colors.  My sisters and I would each get a different color so we knew which one was ours (you know that created some arguments).  I decided to create a 2nd similar card but with colorful chicks.

http://sparklensprinkle.com/o/product_info.php?cPath=82_243&products_id=8077
I used Dandy Dandelion embossing powder on the 2nd layer and die cut circle openings in the slightly smaller top layer to reveal the bright yellow sparkle.  Then the circular die cut images were adhered in the center of each circle.  Sparkle EP and Sunny Daze glitter were added to the accessories and a little White Opal Liquid Pearls to the pearl necklace.

We hope you enjoy this surprise Mini Reveal as much as we have enjoyed creating new projects for it.  And hopefully, we have inspired you as well.  Look for more of these cute chicks in the future too :-).

  Thanks for joining us and remember to comment on each of the Designers' blogs to be eligible for the Grand Prize.  (We love reading your comments since they also inspire us.)  No one knows who the Mystery Designer will be for this Mid-Month Blog Hop.

The next stop on our blog hop is Jess.  Enjoy!
