The Crafty Den: Krafty Chicks challenge #759

Good morning lovely friends. I hope you're all doing ok and having a great week so far. It's time for a new challenge over at Krafty Chicks challenge and this week we are on Week 2. As always the theme is 'Christmas' and I am your hostess. We want you to see all your festive creations this week and we hope you will come over and join in the fun with us.

I bought an old (but new to me) stamp set which I thought was fun and playful and I had to use it for today's card. There are lots of cute chick images and a fantastic large merry Christmas sentiment included in the set but I only used 3 of the chicks on my card. I hope you like it.

Here is my card:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I began by die cutting the circles cover plate from smooth white card. I then took a piece of alcohol marker friendly card placed it underneath and lightly traced around the circle openings with pencil. This allowed me to stamp the chicks in the perfect position. I coloured them with Promarkers and added some white gelly roll highlights. I went back to the cover plate and stamped over top with my favourite snowy background stamp using sea glass ink. Before adding my two panels together I erased the pencil lines and then used liquid glue to adhere them. I stamped the sentiment in black ink and used the coordinating die to cut it out; I also cut an extra 3 from white card so that I could have some dimension without using foam squares. I added it between the images with liquid glue. I added the panel onto a red mat layer with double sided tape and then used some scrap white card behind for dimension. This was then added to my card base with double sided tape. I finished off with a few red pearls. For the inside I cut a white panel 4" x 5 1'4", used the background stamp and stamped a small border at the bottom of the panel with sea glass ink. I used one of the leftover circles (from die cutting the cover plate), stamped another chick, coloured him with Promarkers and added some white highlights. I adhered the circle over the border with liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment in the centre of the panel with black ink. The panel was then added to my card base with double sided tape. A really fun card and I've still got loads of images left to try.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
