A Card a Day in May--Day 12!!

I love love this fun card I have to share today! The sun is shining this morning and this card is just perfect for the feelings of happiness the sunshine brings!

Isn’t this Rays of Light stamp set the BEST! It was a must have for me as I can see myself using it for all kinds of fun backgrounds including the one behind this little squirrel from Nuts About You. Side note: so happy this little stamp set is carrying over! I had alot of fun creating with these squirrels and I am so happy to keep stamping with them!

I used my favorite coloring technique on the squirrel, ‘lazy watercoloring’! I used Soft Suede and Early Espresso along with a Water Painter to give my squirrel some color!

The grass is actually from the Palms Dies and are cut in Old Olive and Pear Pizzazz card stock and I added a little color to the tips with the coordinating ink and a Water Painter.

I trimmed the Rays of Light stamp set layer down a bit and added a panel of Basic White that I ran through the Stripes 3D folder for some texture.

The sentiment ‘Happy Birthday’ is stamped in Mango Melody and is die cut with the Stylish Shapes dies. I added some vanilla Baker’s Twine and Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels as a cute little touch!

I think this card is an awesome mashup of different products in our new catalogue! Its has returning favorites plus some new items which is my fav way to craft!
