I'm super happy with how this card turned out. It is my very first easel card!!! So I'm pretty excited about it. :)
I began with the little squirrel from the Create a Critter cart and pop-dotted it to the base. The little heart she is holding is a glittery brad; I also used one on the inside of the card. Her little bow is actually recycled from my Victoria Secret's perfume bottle.
Once again I used a paper that did not photograph well, but the off-white base is a sheet from the pre-embossed K&Co. Elegance Collection stack. It has a bunch of little flowers embossed on it-super cute. :)
The "Nuts About You" sentiment and the acorns were cut using the Just Because cart. I used red glitter glue for the tops of the little acorns. The sentiment and the acorns are pop-dotted.
The cuts, both on the inside and outside of the card which the sentiments are placed on, were just normal squares and rectangles that I used a pair of Studmark Royal craft scissors for the decorative edges.
The Happy Valentine's Day Sentiment is a Clear Studio G Stamp.
I think it turned out so super cute and I hope you think so too. :)
Hugz,
Ash
