A card to recognize our Featured Stamper for this week, FS847 - congratulations to Imke Ludwig (aka germanstampler). I had fun and gathered a LOT of inspiration in her Gallery.
I selected Ahhh...Nuts ! by germanstampler at Splitcoaststampers to case for the Challenge because it was cute and I knew it would be really challenging to find items in my collection that could resemble her creation.
I kept the landscape orientation and tried for a colorful background; my choice proved too busy to show the embossing folder clearly (oh well). Mine also is much simplified, using mostly cut pieces/scraps that I found plus some recycled shirt-collar buttons of unknown age.

I can see your embossing on that jazzy paper which is perfect for your background. I think I might have some of that still. Love the two wee buttons! That is one cute squirrel guy!!

Well the embossing may not spring out at you, but you can definitely see it and I love that fun paper so I'm happy you went that direction. Your squirrel looks like he's waving "hi" to someone--or is he saying stay away from my nuts? Either way it's one adorable card.
