See You At Noon With a Latte by Janet

Today I have a quintessential Ai Card with an attitude! It's their cute images and tongue-in-cheek sentiments that originally attracted me to the Art Impression line so many years ago. The slightly irreverent humor just gets me! The set I used for this card is called AiCS40 - Spring Chicken Set. There are three chicken images and several funny sentiments.

The card layout was inspired by a Pinterest sketch which is where I sometimes find ideas when something doesn't pop into my mind. I used several patterns of paper from the 5873 - Mini Birthday Paper Pack. There's a lot of purple hues in these patterns so I chose a dark purple cardstock to use as an accent and dark purple pearls and rhinestones to decorate it. I used 5065 - Oval Double Stitched Dies, 5727 - Oval Nested Dies. and 5724 - Nested Rectangle Dies to create most of the shapes used in the design. 

This image is perfect the way it is but I still decided to add some additional touches to it. I sketched lines in the feet and in the hat to give those items a little more dimension and texture. Otherwise, this was a quick image to color since the chicken is mostly white with shadows in gray that I colored in with markers. I used two colors of gray and a blender to soften them. After coloring, I fussy cut the chicken out and popped it up on foam pads. This chicken has an attitude that makes smile. I hope it puts one on your face too.
