Hello and thanks for stopping by!
I had some time this morning to do a little coloring, and then I decided to create a card with this cute stamp. I am sure some of my followers know that I love squirrels. They love our oak tree in the backyard and I love watching them out the window. It is also a lot of fun watching my cats chase after them. Of course it always results in them coming back to the door with a sad look on their faces because the squirrels always get away. (Thank goodness and I hope it will stay that way!). They are such smart little critters!
When I saw this new stamp set being offered by Penny Black, of course I had to get a set for myself. It is also for sale in my Etsy stamp shop, along with the sentiment set that I used on today's card. (The stamps in my shop are of course brand new!)
The image has been stamped onto xpress it blending card, then colored with copics and fussy cut. I used an old hearts embossing folder for the background. Designer paper scrap is from my stash.
The image has been adhered to the card with pop up dots.
Product List:
kraft card stock (SU), blending card (xpress it)
designer paper from stash
black memento ink, copics for coloring
old cuttlebug Embossing folder, twine

What a precious card; and the embossed background is perfect for that sweet image. Thank you so much for joining us over at the MarkerPop Challenge blog!
ReplyDeleteThis is just so cute Ellie. I love the way your squirrels pop out from the card and the colours are fab. I used to watch the squirrels in my daughter's garden - with her cat trying to catch one, with no success - I'm pleased to say. Thank you for sharing this with us at Fab'n Funky this week.
