Easter Fun - Hipster animals

Good Morning everyone, i hope you had a good weekend and not too much snow.  

Its a new challenge at Make My Monday   The theme this time is 


EASTER FUN

I decided to have fun with the Tim Holtz hipster animals and my wink of stella pens.



6x6 Teal cardblank.  I stamped the chic chick in black and coloured in with a mix of alchol pens for his outfit and then wink of stella for his feathers.  Glossy accents on his glasses.  Die cut into a wonky stitched circle.  Then mounted onto a teal card circle.  For the background i first computer printed the sentiment & then die cut into a square, embossed a larger wonky circle die so that it will frame the topper.  Then using ink splat stamps with distress ink i lightly stamped in a diagonal across the front just to add interest.  

A little 'primrose' flower made up from yellow, lightly inked the centre in orange and a little glue dot centre.  A couple of die cut leaves to finish. 



A close up of the chick, you can just about see the sparkle of the wink of stella pens. 


A second version, this uses a little artistic license as you don't normally get ostrich's at Easter but i decided to colour her yellow and she could be a chick, duckling or maybe even a gosling or a hybrid!😀.
Made the same way as the first one just using a square topper instead. 

Items Used:
Tim Holtz Hipster Animals stamps
Stampin up Gorgeous grunge stamps
Peacock distress ink
Wink of stella pens
Wonky Stitched circle and square dies
Sizzix flower dies

So please do pop over to MMM and see what the rest of the team came up with and also to see all the entries, always very inspiring. 

I hope you all have a good week, thank you for stopping by. Emma
