Greetings. Welcome to my blog, it's Gaylynn. Here, I show the steps to create with chicken stamps, including simple graphic effects. I am pairing the Unity Stamp Company chicken stamp set called The Pecking Order with alcohol markers, a bold border and alphabet accents. This creates eye-catching effects to make the chickens stand out. I chose a simple layout and a cover panel featuring the three chickens. The fun card was created with a clean design and solid color cardstock for the background. I have included the project steps and supplies below.

To begin, here is a look at the finished card.
Sentiment: What? Oh my word.
Helpful Tips:
Prepare a vertical scored white card base 4 ¼” x 5 ½” folded.
Trim a piece of smooth white cardstock 4 1/4" x 4 1/2".
Stamp the chickens and a sentiment near the bottom of the trimmed white panel, using marker-friendly black ink.
Color the chicken scene using your favorite markers. I used Copic markers.
Over the chickens, line up alphabet dies and temporarily tape them down. Then, die-cut the word "what" into the stamped panel. (or your word choice.)
Trim a solid background panel from cinnamon cardstock to fit behind the chicken panel, approximately 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" or a bit smaller.
Layer and adhere the cinnamon panel over the card base.
Back the chicken panel with thin foam tape, then add the panel to the top of the card, leaving a bottom border.
Optional: Embellish with gems or pearls.
Finally, here is a closer look at this fun card.
