My Favorite Things – Nuts… for you!

Hi everyone! Welcome to this month’s Creative Construction with Blueprints!

This time it’s all about strips, tags and flags! Here is what I came up with:





I chose to make a little scene with the Forest Friends stamps. I kept the design simple. This helps focusing on the image. I first die cut a stitched card panel from white cardstock using Blueprints 25. Next, I created a mountain of acorns with a squirrel on top. I used masking paper to achieve this result. I then colored the images with Copic markers and cut them out with scissors. I blended the background with Distress inks. I die cut a banner strip from Blueprints 25 and heat embossed the "for you" sentiment from the Birdie Brown Birthday Bears set with white embossing powder. I attached all elements to the panel using foam pads. I made a flag with the banner and used a toothpick that I fixed with glue. I fixed a strip from the Dots & Stripes Neutral Paper Pack to the bottom of the card base and the panel to the card base.

Francine, this is so adorable and sweet - love it! What an awesome job you did creating the pile of acorns with the squirrel behind it! Your coloring makes it all so perfect. I like that checkered strip at the bottom, too.
