Cock-A-Doodle-Doo!

Good morning. What are you up to today? I'm stuck indoors waiting for a parcel to be delivered, so I thought I'd sit down and blog another card.

I went bold with this one!

I wanted to have the chicken sat on her nest, so I had to get rid of her legs. Don't worry, she didn't feel a thing - I did it by masking off the bottom of her before I inked up the stamp. Then when I stamped the nest afterwards it looked like she was sat on it.

I then masked off the chickens and stamped "Cock-a-doodle-doo" above them. I did have to remove the legs from the mask too but I did it carefully so that they can still be used.

I cut some copy paper to follow the line of the text and used it as a mask when I brushed in the hills. I then used the bottom part to mask those off when I did the sun.

The chickens are coloured in with Spectrum Noir pencils.
