Today I was inspired first by a sketch and secondly by the word 'critter' and thirdly by Christmas. Throw in some die cuts and coloring, I thought - and here we go.
First I gathered my supplies. For a simple card like this there are many: two stamps and a stamped image of two critters (I had made several impressions from this stamp before I gave it away, so I can't show it), die cuts of fir trees from my ready stash and plenty of markers.
I first stamped the irregular round in white. Sadly it is not visible on the finished card - I should have stamped it several more times it seems. I colored the critters, fussy cut them, stamped and embossed the sentiment and adhered all according to the sketch.
Entering this card in these great challenges that got my creative juices flowing:
