Chicken Birthday...Farm-style

Hello there!  I have a new challenge from the Creative Card Crew; for this fortnight, our challenge is "Down on the Farm".  Hmmm, I grew up on a farm so I had some insight for this challenge....  My first thought was my Penny Black chicks...love them!

The chicks are colored with pencils and die cut.  I've used some "cozy" papers and done some distressing, then added some mini brads and a handmade flower for embellishing.

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper: PTI Stamper's Select, Orange Zest, and Dark Chocolate, My Mind's Eye DP
