GIU Day 3 - Aw Nuts

 Hi and Welcome to Day 3 of my GIU week.  

I love the variety of stamps that Unity has, there is something for everyone's stamping fancy.

Today I'll be sharing a card that makes me smile and I hope itmakes you smile as well.

I have a love for squirrels and enjoy leaving peanuts out for them to eat.  They are always so comical to watch.  So when I saw the stamp set:  Stay Squirrelly I just knew it had to pop into my shopping cart.

Here is the card that I created using it:

 This was a easy card to put together.  I started with a base of Early Espresso (SU) cs.  Then a piece of designer paper and pieces of Old Olive and Balmy Blue.  

I used a leaf embossing folder (Paper Studio) and embossed the leaves on just a portion of it. Then I layered the designer paper and the strip of old olive down the center.

The squirrel was stamped with Memento Tuxedo black on White card stock and cut with a Grunge Tag. I colored the image with Pencils blended with Gamsol and blending stumps. I distressed the edges with Balmy Blue ink.

I added brown embroidery thread after punch a hole in the tag and mounted it on the card with foam tape.

  The small acorn is from the current September KOM . I added some Wink of Stella for a little shimmer on the acorn.  The sentiment was cut with a fishtail die.  Green enamel dots were added.

I think this will make a fun card to give to someone when you forget their birthday. 

Be sure to leave your name in the comment section for a chance at the $20 Gift Voucher for some Unity goodies.

See you again tomorrow for another fun card creation.  Thanks for stopping by.
