Amanda Jane Designs - Daffodil Squirrel

 Evening Everyone

I was delighted to be asked to continue to Guest Design for Amanda Jane Designs (AJD) for the next few months - March, April and May. Thank you Amanda. x 

So, for the first of my March cards I have used one of the cute squirrel digi stamps, this one is called  'Daffodils Squirrel', which I combined with a digi sentiment from my stash. I used distress re-inkers to colour with,  I hope you like it. (For sale - £3.50 + P&P - requests by email please)  

At the moment there is an amazing 60% off everything in Amanda's store, so why not grab yourself a bargain. :) 

Amanda has a lovely array of digi stamp, papers and sentiments in her Etsy shop, along with some pre-coloured images and papers. For your information, here is the link to the Amanda Jayne Designs Etsy Store to check out all the digi stamps and papers.

Here's What I Did

I trimmed down a beautiful sheet of shimmery peach paper to fit the front of a 5" x 5" white card blank, leaving a slim border around the edge.

I imported the sweet squirrel stamp and my sentiment into my software and resized them both to fit my project. The scene was printed onto watercolour cardstock, then die cut with a ornate frame with the  rounded square section cut out. The image was coloured with distress re-inkers and pencils, and white pen was added to the squirrels cheeks. 

Next I die cut the ornate square frame three times (1 x cream shimmer card for the top layer and 2 x white card) and glued them together; the completed scene was glued onto the centre panel. The whole frame was added to the centre of the card front. To finish off the card I added glitter to the flowers, along with a few pearls.
