The little chicks are made using the bird builder punch and heart punch from stampin up…

punch out a complete bird from the bird punch… we dont use the wing or leaves but keep them… the wings make ideal tulip heads…Punch out a heart from the heart punch to… all in so saffron card stock..

next re-put in the chick so that your cutting off the birds tails…

so you get something like this cut off…

Next ink the edges of your chick and heart with Daffodil Delight ink… and add your chicks eye and colour in his little beak… add the heart for the wing by only adding glue at the base of the heart so his little wing has dimension…

and ta daaa!!! one cute little Easter Chick
