Sweet Chick MPS Challenge-A Feathered Friend

Hello Friends,

I am entering another My Pink Stamper challenge. This time you had to make a card using "a feathered friend". I chose the baby chick from the Create a Critter cartridge which is still hands down my favorite cartridge of all. The challenge also suggested using the stamp set "Tweetie Hoo Puns" which is a Pink Stamper set. I didn't have this stamp set but I found the sentiment, "Sweet Chick" from the  "Punny-licious" MPS set. I'm glad that worked out because I would not have received the "Tweetie Hoo Puns" stamp set in time even if I had ordered it...LOL doesn't mean I won't buy it in the future right?

Hope you enjoy the card! Check out the gold stickles on the chicky's wings! Bling Bling
