Easter Chicks

Good Morning everyone

Today is a fun spring chicken wreath design, i had these left over aall&create chickens and then the idea came to me for an Easter wreath so i went with it.  Digging out another very old paper pad in my stash busting mission.

7x7" white base card.  I used one of the papers from the pad which had splashes of red, blue & yellow in it to pick up on the colours in my chickens and the woodgrain gives the effect of a chicken house.  I inked the edges in walnut stain distress ink.  I added little stripes behind it to look like its one long piece but actually i only had small offcuts left over. 

From one of the yellow papers in the pad i die cut pine leaves to give the effect of straw which the chickens bed on. I die cut a circular frame from a pale paper and glued to the middle of my paper - this was to act as a guide/base for my wreath to keep it round.  I then just got gluing the branches into place, overlapping them as i went. 

I then arranged my chickens - these has previously been stamped on white, watercoloured and cut out.  Glossy accents on the eyes.  I gently added a little shape to the bodies and attached with pinflair glue gel.  I then added some gems in the same colour tones, in groups of 3.....i thought they looked a bit like eggs in a nest

Die cut sentiment to finish.
