I printed the image on mustard cardstock and coloured it with pencils. I fussy-cut the image and added Glossy Accents to the jar. I used a bunch of my scraps for this card - Yay! The background paper is an old book page, which I inked with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I tore some scraps of patterned paper to create a spot for the jar to sit. I added a fussy-cut squirrel and a leaf stem die-cut, both left over from other projects. The two fallen leaves are from the same image, printed on orange cardstock. The sentiment was also part of this freebie and it was printed on mustard cardstock and fussy-cut. I added a self-made Hello sentiment near the squirrel. To finish the card, I added a two-layered butterfly punched from my scraps and adhered a black gem in the center.
