Whilst photographing the Squirrels last week (see previous post), I remembered that
Dora had borrowed my photos from a previous visit to draw some digis. She very kindly let me have them, so I had a lovely half hour colouring and making this card. If you fancy it, you can purchase the digi from
Dora's digi shop.
I coloured it using Be creative markers.
For
the squirrel I used natural oak, light orange and yellow ochre. Mixing
the light orange and yellow ochre produced the lighter shade. I used some Be Creative paper too. The little die cut leaves are a Joy crafts die that I absolutely love. The brown card and the gold paper are oth snippets so I am off to
Miss Di's snippet playground with this.
The house is feeling rather empty as Meg returned to uni on Sunday and I still have a week of holiday. I am thinking I will take a trip to a craft shop to take my mind off it, lol! I particularly need some of the lovely whimsical flower stamps from the woodware range. One of them has my name on it, quite literally! Thanks for looking!
A great card from Dora's artwork Sally.

This is a lovely card Sally and you've coloured it beautifully. Dora is a very talented artist to have created such a lovely stamp and you've really done it justice. Your photographs from Scotland are fabulous and it's so lovely to see red Squirrels. A trip to a craft shop is always great therapy so you enjoy your visit and I'll look forward to seeing what you make with your new stamps :) X
ReplyDeleteHello Sally,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your mail.
This is so beautiful done. I like the bush behind the squirrel too. Great addition.

Hi Sally, fabulous card, the image and your nature dies are wonderful. Photographing the squirrels has really inspired you.
