You're my favorite nut!

Hello, I got this adorable tiny, little chipmunk and am having so much fun with him.

Isn't he so cute. I have an Itty Bitty stamp that has acorns on it. I stamped it multiple times and colored them up in two combos and fussy cut a pile of them out. I die cut a wacky stitched rectangle and ink blended Distress Oxide in Mowed Lawn for the grass. The sky was ink blended with Distress Oxide in Stormy Sky and then I used a cloud stencil and the same color to make some clouds. 

I piled the nuts up until I got a pleasing arrangement and then used sticky dots to stick them down one at a time. The chipmunk topped the pile. The sentiment was stamped with Versafine ink and embossed with white embossing powder. I popped that and the lone acorn up with foam tape. I mounted that panel on black card stock.

I made the background by ink blending a light coat of Distress Oxide in Antique Linen. I used a denim background stamp inked in Distress Oxide Gather Twig to stamp over that. I then streaked Distress Oxide in Aged Mahogany along the edges of the stamp and stamped again.

Hello Poppy

I've had some busy summer days but I did get a chance to color and put a card together over the last couple of nights.  It's pretty simple but I love the this flower image.

I colored the poppies with Copics. My red bled just a bit but I tried to rescue it with my blender and gray outline. I die cut the one side of the image with a border die and then used that same die on orange and black card stock. I trimmed down the white image panel and then matched the border edge up to the orange. I then trimmed it down to leave a border around the image. I did this again with the black card stock. 

I used a cover die do die cut a white panel and mounted that on the orange and black card stock. I adhered it all together and placed it on an A2 card blank.

Copics used:

Poppies & ribbon-YR04, YR07, YR09, R27
