This is a rather unique Easter card….in that it doesn’t look much like one aside from having chicks in it!

I started by using my MISTI and some Eclipse tape to create a circle of chickies…are they playing….chick around the Easter egg? chick chick rooster?
COLORING TIPS
The colors used are intensely barn-y ones – nice rich, warm colors in the foreground. Then soft, lighter colors for the distant farm and trees.
Creating the distance in the picture really does come from the color intensity difference – the contrast pulls the barn way out in front of the scene!
FINISHING TIPS
I tried all different colors for card bases, not wanting to make yet one more yellow card, but ya know….sometimes it just works! If it weren’t for Easter I might have gone with a dark brown, but I’m not sure I’ve ever made an Easter card with a brown base. Have you?

Your chickee card is adorable!!! I love the barn scene.
I wonder what kind of mischief they’re cooking up!
I really enjoyed watching this video. I love how different this is color wise. It’s so adorable!
A very adorable card Sandy. I think those chickies are surging together for the chocolade eggs he Easter Bunny has hidden LOL
Thank you so much for your lovely post and video and have a great weekend.
This is so sweet Sandy
Awesome creation! Thanks for the video! How about CHICK CHICK WORM (as in the early chick will get the worm)
This is one adorable card Sandy! The colors are lush and it’s just a happy ,fun piece of art!
Cute card
Super cute and creative- as always! thank you for sharing your talents!
Veery cute! Love the idea of chicks playing “Chick, chick, rooster”. I’ll be chuckling to myself all day over that one! But you also gave some great tips about the ease of changing stamps to fit our own needs of the moment – even backward facing feet!!!
