Hey Chick is one of my favorites and so fun to color the chickens in a variety of ways. I saw this card on Pinterest and thought the use of the Hexagon embossing folder was genius making it look like chicken wire by using a brayer to add ink on the raised side of the folder before running it through the big shot. I totally copied her card and here is the link to her original.
I used the new watercolor pencils to color my hen. I used them dry first, adding in my shading and various colors, then used an aqua painter to wet and blend the colors.
The Stitched shapes are due to be available for ordering again on Jan 16 after their brief yet very popular appearance in November. I love that stitched detail is just enough to add for layering or emphasizing an image without detracting from it.

Cute, cute, cute. Love the pairing of the hexagons with the chicken.
I loved this card, especially the wire look in the background. Did you do direct ink to finder to get that effect or use a marker. Now I have to spend another $50 so I can the Hey Chick set….lol Thank you for sharing your creativity….
This idea is amazing! I would love a link to the original creator of the chicken wire idea so I can give credit if I CASE it! Thanks!
