Here's the card I made for this week. We don't have chipmunks here in Ireland, and it wasn't till I saw them in a pet-shop in Paris a few years ago that I realised how tiny and cute they are. In my imagination, from childhood books featuring them, they were bigger. The cage was actually labelled "squirrels", but as soon as I saw them I knew they were no squirrels but actually little chipmunks and totally adorable. This one has a late daffodil just for you.
Details: I stamped the chipmunk on white card, using Versafine black ink, and coloured him with Polychromos pencils, adding a little sparkle to the daffodil with Stickles.
I used the Marbled Cells background stamp to create a piece to cut my sentiment from: stamping it with mustard seed distress ink, heat embossing and then using Brushos to add the green. Then I die-cut the Hello sentiment a couple of times for depth, with a black layer for shadowing. I simply finished the card off with some green and yellow matting to match the daffodil, and some yellow sequins with Liquid Pearls.
Thanks for stopping by! And thank you, Mary, for inviting me to be your guest this month.
I love watching the chipmunks in our yard. Funny, they've only been around the last five or so years and we've lived here almost 30. Your card is so sweet. Great job with the coloring. Congrats on the Guest Feature too!

Your chipmunk is delightful, Sabrina! We don't have them here but my dad had one in VT that he trained to take a peanut from his pocket! That little chipmunk was adorable and so is yours! Congratulations on your win and being this month's guest designer!

This is adorable. I like your coloring.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! He brings back memories of the chipmunks we have seen in our travels. Especially in MN where they were very plentiful around our cabin.
ReplyDeleteI have a thing for squirrels and chipmunks and love this card!
ReplyDeleteCute little chippie and pretty card.
ReplyDeleteI saw chipmunks in Colorado. They are really cute. Your card is so springy! Hope spring comes to stay soon. We had spring in Feb. but it disappeared soon after.
ReplyDeleteNothing says Spring like daffodils and chipmunks! Thank you for this cheery card!
ReplyDeleteLove your adorable card. Awesome coloring.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute wee thing! They are so funny the way they race around..
ReplyDeleteI learned something today - I had no idea there were no chipmunks in Ireland! Your card is delightful.
ReplyDeleteWow very pretty card!
ReplyDeleteI like the way you kept it fairly simple, so the daffodil takes center stage. The little touch of sparkle sets it off perfectly.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute card! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHow cute is this chipmunk?! A lovely card. x
