Life is a Balancing Act

  • Hey, Chickie, Life is a balancing act!
  • Sale-A-Bration selection with each $50 purchases
  • What do you do for fun?

Hey, Chick! stamp set from Stampin' Up!

I was thinking this morning about all the things we balance in life and decided to use the Hey, Chick set to convey that feeling we've all had when things start piling up and we're trying to balance too many things in our lives.  This is a 3-5/8" X 7-3/4" card done in Tip Top Taupe.   


Life is a balencing act



I found that this is one of the hardest Stampin' Up! colors to photograph and get its  true color.  The others that seem to give me trouble are Pink Pirrouette and Peekaboo Peach.   
  
So I finally broke out my DSL camera and re shot the card, and even after trying multiple color and light corrections in my software, it still doesn't look as good in the photo as my original Tip Top Taupe card.   The DSL camera did turn out to be truer colors than my iPhone camera shot. Some times the photography and color corrections take longer than the cards do!






I chose the wood mounted set when I purchased this set, so, in order to line up all the chicks correctly, I broke out my Stamp-a-ma-gig.  Got all the hens and eggs balanced first try!

The Hey, Chick set is one of the stamp sets you can only get as a free selection with a $50 order and only during Sale-A-Bration, and you can tell I'm really taken with this fun set.

    Chickie, Chickie

    • Hey, Chickie, Chickie...you're one in a dozen!
    • Free Sale-A-Bration selection for each $50 purchases
    • What do you do for fun?

    Hey, Chick! stamp set from Stampin' Up!


    Yet another Hey, Chick card.  This one uses the Hexagon Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  It is extra thick and depending on which side of the embossing folder you use, it can either look like chicken wire or it can look very masculine like nuts and bolts.  I chose some unusual color combinations for this card, but as I work through my Easter projects, I think they'll make sense. I'm using Night of Navy, Sweet Sugarplum and Pink Pirouette.   I love this mop topped hen.  





    This card also uses an image from a second set; the Perfect Mix set.   The "You're one in a dozen!" sentiment is from that set as well.  The embossing folder was brayered with Night of Navy before rolling the Pink Pirouette background through the Big Shot.  I also added a couple of stamped elements to the envelope. The hen was colored with watercolor pencils and then a blender pen was used to blend the colors. 
      
    The sentiment was embossed onto the Night of Navy background.  The original layout from this card was CASED from Understand Blue.

    The Hey Chick set is one of the stamp sets you can only get as a free selection with a $50 order and only during Sale-A-Bration.



    Price: $110.00
