Mr Squirrel is coloured with promarkers and the background was created with distress inks. The embossed card is also coloured with distress ink. The card is finished off with copper organza ribbon and embellised with some oak leaves and acorns made with a Joanna Sheen stamp and coloured with inktense pencils. I triple embossed some acorns and layered them up with some foam pads.
I've made this card using Ann's digi from 'The Special 50/50' and I'm also entering it into the following challenges:
Paper Sundaes: Sketch
Gingersnaps Chestnut theme challenge (GC49) : This Good Earth
I love promarkers: Animals
Our creative corner: Bows
Hubby has gone to watch the football and I'm going to have a play with my new Sweet Pea stamps now. Hope you are having a good weekend.
Thanks for looking
