Squirrel!!! MFT Wild Woodland Birthday card

Hi again! It’s Jacquie, back with another fun project for Butterfly Reflections Ink!

Today’s card is a fun scene card I made. When I saw this adorable Wild Woodland set from My Favorite Things, I knew I had to have it.

The first thing I did was stamp the squirrel and the acorn multiple times using Altenew Permanent Black Crisp Ink. In the end, I think I stamped up 30 acorns, but did not use all of them. I chose fun, non-traditional colors for my acorns. I wanted my squirrel to be carrying a pile of them! I colored them using Copic markers and cut them all out.

For my background I colored a piece of Tim Holtz watercolor paper using Distress Inks - Mowed lawn and Peacock Feathers. (PSST!!! These colors are on SALE!)

After the background was dry, I die cut the piece using the Avery Elle Wonky Stitches Elements Die. I then stamped the greeting with Versamark and heat embossed with Altenew Pure White Crisp embossing powder.

I added the squirrel and then carefully placed all the acorns in a pile. I probably arranged them 5 or 6 times until I got them the way I wanted them.

After I glued everything down using Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue, and Scotch foam tape, I added some details using a Gelly Roll white pen and of course some sparkle with the Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pens.
