Rainbow Chicken

Animals, Beccy's Place, Encouragement, Humor, Ocassions

Hello friends!  Hope you’re enjoying your week so far.  We’ve been having some really hot and dry days lately, so I’m trying to get some motivation going and have some play time for crafting!

I have not played along before, but I decided to grab this fun digital freebie from the Beccy’s Place Challenge and have a go at it because it really made me laugh when I saw it!

Isn’t this such a fun image?!  There was an option of different pre-colored images, but I decided to print out the lined image to color in.  I colored the chicken in rainbow and then added a pair of die cut glasses in silver mirror cardstock that I had on hand.  (I already had the glasses cut out from another card I made that was laying out on my desk, so when coloring this image, I thought it would be fun to add!)

The layout came from a sketch challenge that she’s also sponsoring. (see challenge list below) I thought that I was going to leave it as just black and white to make the rainbow chicken stand out, but I found some fun rainbow papers and decided to add one panel to go with the chicken.  I came up with and typed out the sentiment underneath the image and printed them both together.

For another part of Beccy’s challenge, there is an optional theme she included which was “doodling”.  So I took a white gel pen and added some lines for highlights on the chicken.  I’ve also taken a black marker pen to make some squiggle lines around the image panel too.  I blended some grey ink around the edges and then used a distress tool for the distressed edges.

After adding the glasses, I covered the eyeballs with some crystal effects for shine. 

And this one has been sent off to hopefully make someone smile!  I hope you like it too! 

Thanks so much for dropping in and I’ll see you again on Saturday for another AJ page!

  15. This will definitely make someone’s day Vicki. How could you not smile seeing this chick arrive in your letterbox? You’ve done a brilliant job with the colouring, the rainbow palette was a fabulous idea, and the glasses are a hoot! Your hand-drawn border adds a lovely, whimsical touch and the white highlights give her an added glow. I like your take on the sketch too!
    Cheers,

  21. Oh how fun! I love how you colored up this chicken and those glasses! My friend has chickens and we watched them out her back door dancing in the summer rain (the chicken dance of course) what fun and how funny they were. Fabulous card! Hugs, Sue.
