Good morning!
How's your week going? It's been a busy one here - I caught up with an old friend yesterday, we haven't seen each other in such a long time...We met many years ago dog walking. I had my GSD Holly and Ree had a Dalmatian called Moby... We walked together for years and then within 6 months of each other we sadly lost both our dogs.
It was good to catch up and I hope we will do it more often now.
So... I told you I was playing with water colour last week, well, here's another Thank You card on it's way to a blog friend over in the USA
So... I told you I was playing with water colour last week, well, here's another Thank You card on it's way to a blog friend over in the USA
Both the tree and the squirrel are stamps and dies from Stampendous...I only partially die cut the tree so I would have a base to paint
This is like one of our squirrels here in the UK, he just blends in to the trees ... And whilst I don't usually use ribbons, the pretty ribbon bow on here was tied around the gift I received so I put it to good use and it's heading right back to my friend...
I have club night tomorrow and it's a Valentines night so I have 20+ owl treat boxes prepared and 40 cards for them to make... It's taken me a few late nights I can tell you! But I know it will be good fun
Oh, and I made Top Pick over at Make My Monday and a Top Pick at Classy Cards n' Such this week ... doesn't get much better than that!
Well my crafting buddy Pat is due in a few hours so I'd better get on ... Enjoy your day
Take care

What a fun card, Ros, love the tree and squirrel, the water color is lovely! Happy Wednesday!
Like how you've only partially cut the rectangle die so that you can water colour below the tree. The pop of colour from the bow really works well and great re-cycling. Fun and adorable card. Congratulations on your well deserved wins x
Oh my gosh, a squirrel...LOVE IT!!!! What a beautiful card Ros. I love that amazing bow, such a lovely pop of green to coordinate with the grass!! Congrats on your wins, you deserve it! hugs :)
What a cute, cute card....and a frisky little squirrel...this sure is a cute stamp set and your water coloring is beautiful as always! Sounds as though you have been super busy...I hope you will post your class projects so we can all see them!
We had a dog too, he had an accident eighteen years ago. Now we have a cat, Lewis (-;
Such a nice card, Ros! I used to put ribbon and bows on my cards, now I grab some bakers twine now an then. Your bow looks very pretty. Lovely squirrel and the watercolour technique is so well done!
Enjoy your evening with the ladies!

What a cute squirrel - and great card!
I can just see the little wheels turning in his mind about where he can look for a nice hidden nut to munch on. Super cute design Ros. Hope you have tons of fun with your class tomorrow night. Hugs!
You did a fabulous job color Ros and I love the scene!! The bow looks beautiful with it! Whom ever is receiving will LOVE it!! Nice to be able to connect with old friends. Have fun at your Valentines night :)
Super sweet card with the squirrel! One of my favorite walking places have tons of squirrels. It's so fun watching them! Your water coloring is fabulous as is the pretty green ribbon, too! Sounds like great fun with the owl treat boxes! I'm sure they'll love them!
Always love to see a squirrel (I remember well your lovely notebook) and that tree is fabulous. Owl treat boxes sounds fun, wish I could come!
Super cute card Ros! What a fun squirrel! WOW! That's a lot of treat boxes and Valentine's! Surely your friends will feel spoiled!
Very creative & lovely, Ros! Your friend will love it!
Your watercoloring is always divine, Ros, and of course, I love an excellent critter card any day!! I hope you had a blast at club night! I'll bet they loved everything you put together for them to make!! Enjoy your weekend! Hugs, Darnell
What a fabulous painted look.
She'll love it, Ros! Such a playful, yet calming, scene, and how fun to send the little ribbon right back where it came from. Priceless!
Love how you partially cut the tre, so clever and the water colouring!
This card is AH-DORABLE! Love your watercolor style with the tree and partial die-cut on the tree, fab idea! Thank you so much for sharing your Stampendous project!
