Nuts for Squirrels

OK, hands up, who ever thought it would be possible for me to resist a CAS challenge?  Oh all right, I can't, it's impossible.

A quickie for you tonight as it is heading towards pumpkin time and an entry for this week's CUTE CARD THURSDAY Clean And Simple challenge.


I've hankered over this stamp for so long that I nearly put the bunting out when I got an email to say she was back in stock!  This is Hazel And Nutty from Sugar Nellie - just look at that little squirrel's face, what a cutie!  Painted in Distress Inks (ReInkers), with a Hero Arts sentiment, echoed by another Hero Arts sentiment from a different set around the edges.  Matted on white card edged with Blossom ProMarker and tiny Papermania gems for the corners.  Fin!

See you all tomorrow morning at 9am (don't be late) with my Winter Wonderland DT card.

Hugs, Sxx

    This is so sweet, perfect CAS design, love the stamp & how you've put text all around - what an eye you have for spacing - I'd try something like this but would get 3/4 round then would go wonky or smudge! Jx

    Don't you just want to cuddle that little Nutty! He (maybe she?) is so cute, and just perfect for you, Squirrel.

    Love your idea of colouring the narrow border to match Hazel's dress.

    Thanks for visiting and leaving your kind comment.

    Hugs,
    Jennifer. x
