The Stampscapes trees were stamped with Adirondack mushroom and the squirrel was done with desert sand, latte and espresso truffle. The acorns are three step stamping also with the same recipe. The trees were colored with pencils and also colored the squirrel to add fur to the image. Touched up the acorns with pencils also. Pencils used were Spectracolor, Caran d'Arch and Lyras. Thanks for looking!

Miss Nancy, My oh my!!! I totally understand why it takes you so long to color a card! This squirrel looks just like it is ready to jump off! Beautifully colored! Then there is the texture on the trees! Really well done! tfs

Love that Kitchen sink squirrel. Those stamps are so perfect for getting that photographic excellence in the layering process. People think it spent hours, when really it didn't. I love them.

Good grief, that squirrel looks like he could run up the tree any second! What a fantastic image, and the colors are perfect! Your pencil work added so much texture. I love the wonderful background. This is awesome!

Holey Moley, your pencil coloring is beyond fantastic!! You have so much patience but the realistic look on both the squirrel and the texture of the tree are SO worth all your effort!! Love that soft sponged background too - absolutely breath taking detail!!
