Happy Birthday Squirrel

September 15, 2015

Hi there,

it's Tanja here today and I am featuring the super cute Gerda Steiner Designs Happy Fall! stamp set:

cut out a tag and stamp the adorable squirrel from the Gerda Steiner Designs Happy Fall stamp set with Versafine (Vintage Sepia)
mask the squirrel and create a background using Distress Inks (Antique Linen, Frayed Burlap, Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean) and the Hero Arts Cloudy stencil
ink up the edges of the tag with Distress Ink (Frayed Burlap)
color the image with Prismacolor Colored Pencils, Zest-it and a white gel pen
add Glossy Accents to his nose
stamp some of the notes from the new stamp set with Versafine (Onyx Black)
thread natural jute twine through the hole of the tag
cut out three washi tape strips and patterned paper
stamp a Linen Background with Distress Ink (Frayed Burlap) onto a stitched kraft panel
stamp the "happy birthday" sentiment with Memento Luxe (Rich Cocoa)
use kraft cardstock as a base
