Birthday Birdie

 hi there, here to share a quick birthday card with you.
I began by cutting a strip of cardstock that is  just over a third the size of my blank card. I  scraped some China  paint down the card followed by some Blue Oyster. I then edged the piece with black ink.

Then using a blue archival ink I stamped the numbers from Mini 23 all over the card.

I lay the blue strip over my card blank and then stamped the black ink splats from Mini72.

I added 3 pieces of ribbon at the bottom.

Next I  stamped Wilbur the Chicken King onto scratch paper. I stamped his crown and wing onto separate paper and glued it all together.

P1170550
I then stamped him again onto my painted card, this gives me the finer details such as his tail feathers and legs.

P1170551
I glued the painted strip to the card blank and glued on the chicken.

P1170552
To finish I added the sentiment at the top over a piece of painted card.

Cute huh?

    Ah! Who dares enter the realm of The Chicken King? :oD I LOVE Wilbur. He's so great.I bet my girlies would like a Wilbur too. Maybe he would keep them inside the chicken house rather than outside stomping all over my plants (grrr). I've been threatening them with PIE all week but I think they think I mean apple.... Love what you've done with him. The blue background has particularly taken my eye. I like that a lot. Lx
