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.
