I used both stamp sets for this card. I used Cool Chicks 725, and Birds of a Feather 726. I wanted the gaggle of cute gals together, so I stamped each stamp onto post it note paper, and then fussy cut them to make masks. I laid out the masks to see which chick should be in front, and how to place them. I played with this a little bit until I got them in a fun lineup. I stamped the chick with the handbag first, covered her with the mask, and then stamped the other chicks and masked them as needed until they were all lined up.

I colored them with Copic markers. I wanted the super sassy chick, with the hand bag to pop and sparkle a little bit more than the others because I think she is the ring leader of the shenanigans afoot with this group. After coloring her with Copics, I used Brushable Glue (540) and coated her body area. I covered her with Daisy Velvet Glitter (Microfine) Semi-transparent (GM2019). I also stamped out an extra image and fussy cut out the handbag and sunglasses, and covered them in glitter too. The handbag and shades glitter is Tyrian Opaque Glitter (G1089). I also used Glossy Accents over the colored lenses to give her eyes some more depth and shine.

This silly birdy  needed some pizazz too. I colored her and then used the trusty Brushable Glue (540) again to cover her and then sprinkled Evening Glow Semi-Transparent Glitter (G1086) over her.

The sweet chick had a flower in her hair. I colored it as well with Copics, then adhered Easy Green Semi-Transparent Glitter (G1077) with Brushable Glue (540).

I also used a new product to me, which Sparkle N Sprinkle carries, which is Ken Oliver Crafts Color Burst water color powders. They are AWESOME! I used the Pthalo Green (KN-09103) and Ultramarine Blue (KN-06066) to color the grass and sky. Even though the Ken Oliver Crafts Color Burst water color powders did a great job, I wanted a little more sparkle on the card, so I adhered 2-1/2" Double Sided "Tear-ific Tape" (SAT11) over cardstock, then punched it out with a grass border punch. I adhered Luau Green Velvet Glitter (Microfine) (GM2004) over it. This was the perfect blend of grass and glitter!

And, I stamped out one of the sentiments from Cool Chicks 725, with White Detail Embossing Powder (EP298) cut it with a Spellbinders die in to a label shape, colored it with distress ink, used a glue pen and adhered more Tyrian Opaque Glitter (G1089). This glitter is so beautiful. I love it!

To add a bit more shimmer to the top of the card too, I punched out a cardstock strip with a punch with stars. I adhered a strip of 1/2" Double Sided "Tear-ific Tape" (SAT04) and adhered Blue Lighting (G1008) glitter through the star holes. I colored the cardstock to match the sky background, and attached it to the card panel.

 
These stamp sets are so perfect. I love punny and sassy stamps, and these two sets will be getting a lot of use :)
