If you stop by here often, then you know I have a LOT of critter stamps This time I used my new squirrel set from MFT ~
I really need to get moving on my Christmas cards, so I started with a snowy background and added those adorable squirrels and a few trees. To me, it looks like the little guy is whispering something in his mama's ear, so I used a speech bubble for my sentiment :)
My 2nd card has an autumn theme and since I'll use any excuse to send a card with a few bucks to my granddaughter, I chose a 'nuts about you' sentiment:

I used different Copic markers for the squirrels and stenciled clouds for the background. I also masked the bottom and ink blended the grass, then stamped a few random blades of grass :)

two darling cards, Barb - thst little squirrel whispering to its mom is so cute!
Eep! That stamp is so endearing! So many wonderful memes one could make with it! (And people wonder why I have so much NBUS, lol!) Both designs are you all over, Barb, well-designed, colorful, and beautifully executed! Great blending and composition skills are evident on both designs! Thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #20!! Hugs, Darnell
Barb, you have such darling lil critters here. The squirrels are so sweet and wonderful critters for the challenge. The designs are clean and well executed. Thank you so for playing along at Twofer Card Challenge #20.
Two very cute ways to create with these critters Barb, I would never have thought to use them for a Christmas design, but the design works perfectly!
Adorable cards Barb. Love how you did the two different themes.
Such sweet, squirrel scenes, Barb, so beautifully coloured and composed! There's a wonderful crispness about your Christmas design ... looks as though that sweetie is letting mama know what's on his Christmas list! That warm autumn scene is a delight ... I'm thinking here he's asking is he can help himself to an acorn (or two!) ... so fun! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Twofer! Hugs, Anita :)
As soon as I saw your Christmas card, I just had to smile. This is absolutely adorable!! Love the whispering in mama's ear!! You've created lovely backgrounds on both of your cards and I can't decide which I like more; the early nighttime sky or the crisp, Fall day. These are simply fun cards, and sincerely wonderful designs. Great cards! Thanks for joining us at the Twofer Challenge! Bev
Love these cute cards. It's so nice when you can use something for different seasons. Speaking of............Happy Fall today! Now, if the weather would cooperate in Florida. [Bunny]``
Two of the cutest, most adorable cards using the sweetest little pair of squirrels I've ever seen!! [pssst here's the secret: you've got this one in the bag, my friend!]

These squirrels are darling, Barb! I love how you've colored them and the whispered messages!
Two adorable critter cards using the same image Barb! LOVE the Christmas card with the beautiful blue sky and falling snow. It does look like the little one is whispering in his mama's ear ... so perfect that the sentiment is in a speech bubble. Your fall card is also adorable. Great colouring and such a fun sentiment to go with these cute little guys. Your granddaugher is going to love it! xx
those squirrels are too cute! What a wonderful Twofer!
