Measurements:

• Basic Black Cardstock, card front layer 5 ½” x 4 ¼” 
• Very Vanilla Cardstock, card front layer, 5 ¼” x 4”
• Very Vanilla Cardstock scraps for Hexagon and sentiment cut out.
• Urban Underground DSP at least 2 ½” x 4 ½” for banner cut out.
• Linen Thread – about 16” 

Instructions:

1. Die cut the Hexagon shape from Very Vanilla, stamp the chick on Hexagon shape in Archival Black and color in with Watercolor Pencils. (Tip: blending yellow and brown will give you a Dijon color with highlights. Do not need to watercolor!) Sponge edges with Smokey Slate.
2. Stamp the Sentiment in Archival Black and die cut. Accent with smiley faces stamped in Delightful Dijon. Sponge edges with Smokey Slate.
3. Die cut banner from Urban DSP.
4. Ink up Hexagon folder (logo side) with Delightful Dijon (tip: be generous if you want a little extra color in your “chicken wire” background and emboss Very Vanilla CS layer.
5. Layer card together in this order: place the Urban DSP banner on Very Vanilla embossed card front (you will need to use adhesive as the washi tape is pretty narrow and does not hold well), place strip of Urban Washi across the top of banner, adhere the Chicken in the Hexagon piece, tie Linen Thread around the Very Vanilla embossed CS layer placing the bow under the chicken in the Hexagon, layer the Very Vanilla embossed CS on the Basic Black card front, layer this on the Very Vanilla CS base, now add the sentiment under the linen thread using dimensionals.
