Great tutorial too. PS, I have given in to temptation with the new WRS stamps (and a die) :0( I thought I was already on a losing streak when it came to will power, so I may as well go out with a bang!! :0)

Fabulous card Squirrel..love the cute image and colouring of course and just love the eyelets and twine..fabulous male card..
I use pencils and have tried baby oil but it only made my card smell nice..I tried a bit of cooking oil too, but that only made me hungry..so I stick to Archival blending oils from now on..
luv CHRISSYxx
Wonderful card, but I hope you never have the occasion to use it (know someone that banged up). I like the stripes going one way... and then the other way. It's a good thing to do to stripes which are often rather dull just all cruising along together in the same direction.
A darling of a creation Squirrel ! Love it.
