Thanks & Giving | Video

Moving away from my non-traditional fall color scheme, and moving into one that is a bit more typical.  I was super excited to work with this stamp set.  Mostly, because looking at the images, I knew that they could be shaded into critters that would just jump off the page.

I used my Color Burst pencils to shade the images.  Both were stamped and shaded with the same colors used in the video.


Once my images were colored, I stamped and shaded a few leaves to put in the hands of the little squirrel.  I used my craft knife to cut a slit in between the hands, to tuck the stems underneath.

I stamped and then diecut the sentiment, and added foam squares to the back of it.  I adhered my critters on either side with craft glue, and then added foam squares to the portions of them that hung off the die cut.

I stamped the Flannel Life stamp in Whip Cream Ink, onto Oatmeal Cookie card stock.  This was layered up with a strip of  Mirror Gold, Dark Roast card stock, and some twine.  Then I attached my sentiment and critters, and added a Fashion Gold pieces scattered around.  

Thanks for stopping by!

Much love,
