Squirrel Just Saying Hello

Hi, everybody. Resting my injured shoulder from physical activity means I was able to make another card.  This one features Hero Arts stamps; I was inspired by the sketch and challenges shown below.

I stamped the squirrel and toadstool on white cardstock, trimmed into a tag, and mounted on red cardstock.  I created a background on kraft carkstock by repeatedly stamping the butterfly, flower, and ladybug with black, white, and red inks, and then mounted on brown cardstock.  I stamped the sentiment on vellum and trimmed into a banner.  Here are the supplies used:

• Clear stamps:  Squirrel, toadstool, butterfly, flower, ladybug (Hero Arts Woodland Creatures), sentiment (Hero Arts Everyday Sayings)
• Ink:  Versafine Sepia, Ancient Page Cardinal Red, Brilliance Moonlight White
• Cardstock:  Recollections
• Vellum:  Unmarked from my stash
• Die:  Circle (Nellie's Multiframes)
• Punch:  Hole punch (Fiskars), square (Marvy Uchida)  
• Sketch:  Hero Arts Sketch #2 (shown below)

I was inspired by the following challenges:

1. A Blog Named Hero Build a Background (see banner above) UE
2. Craft Hoarders Anonymous Pick a Stamp, Any Stamp UE
3. Fashionable Stamping Favourite Technique (stamping on plain cardstock to create a background) 3E #2
4. Hero Arts Sketch Challenge (I followed Sketch #2 shown above) UE
5. Let's Craft and Create Dies and Punches (used both) UE

Thank you for looking at my card - I look forward to your comments.  Enjoy your day!
