Bushy Tailed — FMS558

There’s a new sketch up at Freshly Made Sketches. Our hostess this week is the very kind and talented stamper, Jacquie Southas. Take a look at her fun sketch:

We’ve finally had a taste of Fall weather here in Texas (it isn’t supposed to last long, though), so I was inspired to make something Fall-themed. I pulled out the cute Nuts About Squirrels stamp set and got to work.

I colored this cheeky squirrel with alcohol markers and cut him out with my paper snips. The squares were cut out of some dsp from the Celebrate Everything collection, which is a hostess offering.

The leaves and acorns are from the Fond of Autumn stamp set and were cut out with the coordinating dies. I added some linen thread and Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots as embellishments and kept it pretty simple.

We hope you’ll join us and make your own card using the sketch! We love to see what you make as we browse the gallery each week. Meanwhile, be sure to stop by the Freshly Made Sketches site to see what the design team has made for your inspiration.

Enjoy your Wednesday! Thanks for stopping by!

Nutty Squirrels — FMS506

It’s time for another new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches, and this week it is my turn to provide the sketch. Here’s a look at it:

I’ve been itching to use the cute Nuts About Squirrels stamp set, so I knew that would be my starting point with the sketch.

I started by stamping the squirrels and coloring them with my alcohol markers. I then cut them out with paper snips and placed them on a circle that had been stamped with some of the leaves and the sentiment from the same stamp set.

I added some strips of card stock to make the stripes in the sketch, and added some Gilded Gems as embellishments.

We hope you’ll join us and create your own card using the sketch! We love to see what you make as we browse the gallery. Meanwhile, be sure to stop by the Freshly Made Sketches site to see what the design team has created for your inspiration!
