Mornin' hens! Isn't this little guy hilarious? OMG, he makes me chuckle every time I look at him. I stamped him onto some Strathmore watercolor paper and watercolored him using distress markers. Of course, I HAD to add some Glossy Accents to the little puddle he made! {snort!} I matted the image using my Perfect Layers tool and did some faux stitching around each of the panels with my tracing wheel. Oh, and how 'bout that bow? Eh-hem, I dyed it myself! Woot-woot! I'm SUPER DUPER proud of myself. I saw this technique on YouTube so I wanted to give it a try. I used chalk white seam binding and ran my distress ink pad over top of it. Then, I spritzed on some water, squished it up into a ball, and ta-da! It blended beautifully. I dried it with my blow dryer and then used my ribbon iron for a smooth look. Soooo cute, right? Each spool has 100 yards. WOW! Just think of all the bows you can make with one spool of seam binding! I'll put a link in the list of supplies below, where I found mine. Okee dokee, that's it for me today. I hope you hens have a TERRIFIC Tuesday and I'll see ya back in the hen house real soon!
