One of my dear friends asked me if I would show her how to cut and paste pictures. So there we were looking at cards in Pinterest. She made a fuss over the cards made with the Stampin' Up chickens.  We spent some time just looking and laughing at all the cards we could find using the chickens stamps. I knew right then that the birthday card I would make for her would have to be with the chickens.  My inspiration came from a card I saw at Beth's Paper Crafts.

For the front of the card, I stamped the sentiments on small white paper strips, cut them to size, and adhered them with foam tape.  All of the images are glued in place.  

Stamp a sentiment on the little sign after you die cut.  On the inside of the card, I added a slight shading on the ground under the chicken and the sign.

Stamp the four chicken images with Memento black ink on the white card stock and die cut.  I used Barn Door Distress Ink to lightly shade the three chickens for the front of the card.  For the chicken inside the card, I used Mustard Seed Distress Ink.  For the chicken combs and the cupcake, I used Stampin’ Blends Real Red.
