Falling For Wednesdays Week 5

 

 

 

Hi friends! Welcome to week 5 of Falling For Wednesdays hosted by @kellysantidesigns   This week’s fall theme is: Fall Critters!  I immediately thought of Yosemite National Park again and all of the forest animals getting ready for winter.  Putting on pounds, storing food in their dens, etc. before beginning hibernation.  

 

I started out by stamping my images from MFP Stamp Shop (now closed) in memento tuxedo black ink on Copic X-press it white card stock before coloring them using both prismacolor and copic markers.  Taking a small Marvy circle punch I've had for years, and rarely use, I punched out my critters peeking out of their tree "burrows" before adhering using pop dots.  After adhering the panel to an espresso card, I decided to add some "grasses" and dug out my Stampscapes large reeds (068D) and stamped the reeds using Tim Holtz mowed lawn, scattered straw and walnut stain distress inks.

My second card I made was inspired by Bear Country in Disneland and seeing all of the squirrels running around to snatch up the scrap droppings.  Taking out some MFP Stamp Shop (now closed) sets as well as the Stampscapes reeds/bush stamps, I got to work.  After stamping the squirrel on a log image in memento tuxedo black ink, I colored it using both prismacolor and copic markers.  I then stamped the pine branches in Tim Holtz pine needles distress ink before stamping the overhanging branches in walnut stain before stamping the reeds/bush using Tim Holtz scattered straw, mowed lawn and walnut stain to create my "grasses".  I then stamped the rocks on scrap card stock, colored them and adhered to the image panel which sits on an espresso card.  I then took a green glittered gel pen and highlighted some of the images.
