Nuts About You

Hi and welcome to another fabulous sketch at SugarPea Designs Challenge.  This week, we are welcoming a new member of the design team - Kerin Sylvester!  Welcome, Kerin!  We have a wonderful CAS sketch, which allows lots of room for creativity.

I decided to use the cute Nuts About You set.  Never having seen a squirrel in real life as we don't have them here in New Zealand, I had to rely on the internet for coloring tips.  

Unfortunately, I didn't quite get the brush of his tail right, but I think he's still pretty cute!  After I'd colored him up, I cut him out with the Zig Zag Stitched Circle Dies.  For the background, I took some Early Espresso cardstock and sponged over an Aspen Tree stencil with Dark Chocolate ink.  I then cut a thin panel for the left hand side to mimic the sketch and adhered both panels onto a white card base with foam tape.  The sentiment was white-embossed onto the dark cardstock.  A thread nest of silver thread was put behind Mr Squirrel and adhered with foam tape.
