Funky Chickaletta

http://snarkystampers.blogspot.com/2020/09/soss-168-f-is-for-friends.html

The current Challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers is Friends, so I jumped on the chance to use this silly image I printed recently from the Nick Jr. website, my favorite Paw Patrol character, the mayor's best friend & pet purse chicken, Chickaletta!

Paw Patrol makes great fodder for the snarky-at-heart; there are lots of blog posts out there by snarky parents like me who watch way too much of it! I stole the sentiment from a meme, printed it using American Typewriter font, and stamped the bubble with a Latina Crafter stamp. I colored Chickaletta with Copic markers & added some bling with a glitter pen. She's on an Action Wobble, so that she can do the Funky Chickaletta! I even added a brad to represent Wally, another animal friend in the show. I obviously had way too much fun with this!

Rollin' with the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers

I'm a huge fan of the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers. They offer creative challenge themes and their Design Team is amazingly talented and hilarious. I was the lucky winner of their Galaxy Challenge (lucky, as in: I was the only entry!), and was invited to be the Guest Designer for their current challenge. And, Oh-my-Edna, did I ever have fun with it!

The challenge theme is "Z is for Zigzag" and you have until March 23 to get creative (snarkiness optional!)

I shocked myself by being able to find so many zig-zag related items in my stash, including the cover of a pack of actual rolling papers!

I decorated the backing paper with a Darice embossing folder. I used gold embossing powder and a blue mix for the vellum pieces; the bright blue background paper with inked with Blueprint Sketch distress ink before embossing. I made the sentiment and printed it on a more opaque vellum. I put some foam tape inside the package to give it some dimension.
