Squirrely Birthday - Stampin' Up!® Fluffy Squirrel

 Today's card is the last card my stampers made at class this week.  I'm not sure they like the squirrel as much as me because I like it A LOT!  We used it to make kind of a masculine birthday card; aren't these colors good for a guy card??

  This one starts with a Crumb Cake base. Next is a layer of Pretty Peacock that the left hand side is embossed with one of the Glass & Gardens embossing folders.  Some Pretty Peacock ink is blended around the embossed side for some added depth.  

  A panel of Summer Splash is stamped with the crosshatch stamp from the Fluffy Squirrel stamp set and is adhered on the other side of the Pretty Peacock panel.

  The stump is stamped in Pecan Pie ink onto a panel of Very Vanilla. and then colored with Blends markers.  On another piece of Very Vanilla the squirrel is also stamped in Pecan Pie.  My stampers had the choice to use full strength or stamped off once ink for the body of the squirrel.  This sample is full strength.  The squirrel is punched out and then popped on dimensionals on the stump.

  The little gift is stamped and colored in and then fussy cut and added to squirrels hands.  The Stylish Shapes dies were used to cut the banner and then sentiment is stamped in Pretty Peacock.

  The final touch are a few Streaked Dots embellishments at the bottom.  They look great with these blues and Pecan Pie.

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
