Happy Bird-Day (DT) Dies To Die For

Happy Squirrel day everyone!

Well, it's not Squirrel day, it's Saturday, but that's the same thing in my book (grins), especially as it is my day to showcase over on the DIES TO DIE FOR blog

The linked products are all available on the Dies To Die For store

Whimsy (Chrissy Armstrong Collection) - Happy Bird-Day stamp

Die-Namics Double Stitched Circle Stax

MFT Tribal Prints 6x6 pad

and the extras used are

Tonic layered circle dies

A small star punch and a corner punch that I used to nibble away at

the sentiment panel to give a rustic look

Image painted with Distress Inks (ReInkers)

As you can probably see, this is one of those odd shaped cards - I marked out the circle from

mid-line in pencil and then carefully cut with a knife so that half the circle overlaps the

inside of the card, which is where the contrast paper layer is, so I got the circle shape without

adding an extra layer

It's the first time I've tried this and I really like the effect, it just gives a CAS

card that something extra without being cluttered with other stuff but I could really do with

practising my knife skills!

I'm off for a tail colour and trim at lunchtime, and then it will be an afternoon of

clipping back shrubbery in the back garden.  I would be much happier sat

with a paintbrush in my paw

Have a super day, whatever you are up to

Hugs, Squirrel xx
