I can't get enough of this little squirrel from last fall's Altnew mini-delight, Garden Friend. He's such a cute addition to a card and looks so realistic. This little guy is my design team card for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Woodland Animals challenge this month.
To make this card:
1. Emboss the leafy background on cream color cardstock then color with stencils. Bring on the fall colors with lots of orange, yellow, & red with the green.
2. Die-cut some leaves and ink with brown and deep orange shades. Add some die cut acorns. These dies come along with the squirrel stamp in the Garden Friend set.
3. The little chipmunk is a layering stamp. I find it's easiest to stamp the second layer first, which is shade darker. Then aligning the lighter background shade is not hard. The little guy is 4 stamps, each progressing darker in the brown ink family Coffee Break. I did cut him out by hand, which isn't hard either with some fine tip scissors.
4. Die cut and adhere the "thanks" sentiment layers together.
5. Pop up the chipmunk and sentiment with foam tape.

Altenew Garden Friend Mini-Delight set, Playful Leaves embossing folder & stencil, Warm & Cozy Sentiments die set, Crisp Dye inks (Coffee Break brown set, Amber Blaze, Melted Butterscotch, Ruby Red, Caramel Toffee, Paper Bag, Green Fields)
