Nuts About You


Here is my card for this week's Mojo Monday. I usually struggle with sketch challenges, but I decided to give this one a try since it is a sketch by none other than my fabulous upline, Mary Fish!


Ready for the DEEtails?

I love the little squirrels from my Pendant Park set, so I started off by stamping them in Chocolate Chip ink on some Old Olive card stock. Then I used some VersaMark to stamp and emboss the foliage. I took a piece of red felt (I have these thin self-adhesive felt flowers in my stash) and cut out a little heart and adhered it over my squirrels. Then I chopped up my image into 4 even squares. I added a mat to each square and positioned them on a piece of Crumb Cake card stock. After tying a piece of Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon to the bottom of my card, I searched for the perfect sentiment, but couldn't find exactly what I wanted, so I wrote the words "nuts about you..." with a Stampin' Write marker. I love it! What do you think?
