Good morning! Today is all about the cute and cuddly - and I always love a good pun! This darling set was part of the most recent Simon Says Stamp release, and since my daughters had guinea pigs when they were younger, there is always something nostalgic for me about them. The memories of their happy squeaks any time they heard the fridge opening and thought they were getting fresh veggie treats! They sure were cute!
I started off by creating the background. I used a panel of white cardstock I had already embossed with the Fanfare embossing folder. I die cut a circle using Basic Circles, and used it as a mask while I ink blended around it with Zest ink, and then a bit of Grapefruit ink closer to the circle for shading and depth. I peeled that circle off (don't worry - it was pretty, and I saved it to use on another card that I'll share soon!). Next up, I stamped those darling critters from Furever Grateful, stamping in Nocturne ink and heat embossing with clear ink. At first I planned to leave them white, but they looked a bit too plain, so I did some simple Copic coloring (colors are linked below). I added them with foam adhesive in a little cluster on the bottom of the circle, then heat embossed some sentiments from the set, trimmed them into strips, and added them above. Finished off with a bit of Lawn Fawn white twine wrapped around and tied in a bow, then a few Sunbeam Dazzling Gems in a row on the upper edge of the circle! Here are more images of this punny little card:
