Color Dare #624 Four Square - Happy Bird-day

This is my Design Team project for ColorMyHeart Color Dare #624 "Four Square" using the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #600. My color choice was Bluebird, Rosy and Sundance.  As I was going through my stash I came across this cute chick stamp, excellent images for the circles from the sketch and the Sundance color of the chicks.    

On white cardstock I stamped my three chicks using Mememto black ink and marked areas for placement of the circles (balloons) in comparison to the sketch. Using the chick stamp with balloon, stamped on patterned paper eight balloons, fussy-cut and adhered direct to white cardstock as previously marked. 

Stamped the three chicks again on white cardstock, colored with Copic alcohol-base brushes, fussy-cut each chick without the legs and carefully adhered over the previously stamped images on the white cardstock lining up with the legs. 

Using Heather Ink stamped a fencing image on the bottom of the same cardstock as the chicks. Another wood panel was cut for the rail and adhered on top of the stamped fence. A sentiment was stamped using another wood panel and bordered with Bluebird cardstock. The bow was replaced with another patterned balloon and drew in a bow and string, using Black Copic pen, from the balloon to the Sentiment. 

On the inside of cardbase three more patterned balloons were used in a cluster at the bottom right-hand corner with hand-drawn strings.
