Hi Chickie
Oh I’ve been having fuuuun with my Rubber Soul/Wordsworth stamps! This little chickie is from the “It’s Your Day” set. I did something different with her. 
This Memory Box Sugar cardstock is high on my list of favorites. I know–I have a lot of favorites, but it’s true! I had several pieces of scrap, so decided to use them in a patchwork layout. I machine stitched them to a coordinating Memory Box notecard, and set it aside.
This little chickie was stamped on the small floral pattern in Versamark ink, and embossed 3 times for a thick, glossy look. I cut her out, and colored in her eye with my black Copic Multiliner pen. Here’s a detail shot:
I used 2 more patterns for the circle, cutting and embossing it with my Nestability dies, and matting it with a scalloped panel. I added the sentiment, and adhered the chickie on dimensionals. The pink houndstooth panel was looking a little “blah” to me, so I added 3 Martha Stewart vellum flowers to liven it up a bit. I finished it off with some Michael’s ribbon, tied through 3 punched holes on the left.
This card has a lot of patterns going on, but I think it works? I hope so, LOL! Thanks for stopping by today! Have a great day!

You have such a great eye for color, pattern, and texture. So many stampers are afraid of mixing patterned papers but I just love it!
