Could it be a penguin?

Here we go again, bird #3!
A slight rotation of the stamp and a couple of different colours and now we have a penguin... a rather chubby one it must be said!
The feet are part of the leaf spray from the SU bird punch. His wing, which you can scarcely make out in this picture was cut from another stamping of the image. One of these days I'll use this stamp as it was intended... as a leaf!
The background is from a Cuttlebug EF, using the debossed side and the sentiment is from Butterfly Kisses.
I'm trying a new semi-matt embossing powder which I have just bought. I have used it on the penguin as I wanted to make some difference between him and his background... I thought it might be useful for my inky projects too... I'll let you know how I get on.

How about a chicken?

Well you saw the robin made with this leaf stamp from Paper Artsy a couple of posts back.... how about a chicken?
Here she is, stamped using Tea Dye Distress ink with a wattle and comb added with a Copic pen and a little wing made from one end of a leaf shape cut with a circle punch.
A couple of strokes with a Copic pen for her legs and a black gem for  her eye and she was away pecking for corn! The sentiment is a clear stamp from Personal Impressions.
I think it's fun to see what you can make from your stamps.
The vertigo persists so I shall keep on with my manoeuvring!

Little robin

I was looking through my stamps this morning and came across this little leaf stamp from Paper Artsy! I know it's intended to be able to be used as a bird too, but I thought that it was perfect for a robin. I inked it with Distress inks in Barn Door and Vintage Photo  and swiped the two lower square mounts with Fired Brick and Aged Mahogany inks respectively. Sadly the deep red of the Aged mahogany doesn't show too clearly on this picture.
The sentiment is part of a stamp from Papermania, stamped with SU Soft Suede. I really don't care for stamping sentiments using Distress Inks as they tend to bleed a little.
The robin was completed with a couple of strokes with a Copic pen for legs and a small black gem for his eye.
