Happy Monday! Happy September 1! What a glorious morning here on the farm! The morning temperatures have been so nice and cool. Fall is just around the corner. Today's card is a nod towards that season of Autumn!
The Fluffy Squirrel stamp set and punch bundle will debut on Wednesday in my SU! store! It is in the SU! new mini catalog on page 49. This has been the year of the squirrel around here. They have been very naughty...eating our garden and digging where they shouldn't be digging. Never in our 35 years of living here have the squirrels been so prevalent. Most likely from the filbert orchard next to us that hasn't been maintained quite like it should...thus a haven for the squirrels. Anyways, I have had fun watching them (don't tell my hubs that!) and have created a children's story, in my mind, that I should put down on paper!
Okay, so my card uses the fantastic Weekend Adventures DSP on a Crumb Cake card base. I stamped Fluffy in Pecan Pie with an Early Espresso outline. The acorns I stamped in Early Espresso onto Crumb Cake and colored the top with #200 Blend which now might be one of the Deep Blends (?) and the lower half with the Dark Crumb Cake Blend. The sentiment is cut out with a die from the Mixed Labels dies. I like these label dies and they are on the Last Chance list at a reduced price! $18.90.
And I'm playing along with the sketch at CASE-ing Tuesday.
That squirrel is just too sweet to be naughty!! But I know what you mean - they are an odd combination of annoying and absolutely charming!
