I've Always Got Your Back

So what do you do if you're a squirrel, just sitting in your armchair reading the paper one weekend, and you look up and see that your fellow squirrel has packed a little bindle and is heading out into the world?

You support that squirrel, that's what you do. That's called being a good squirrel.

I seriously almost died from the amount of cute in this little scene. I concocted it to use that yellow piece as the rug - because that piece came from a fun technique I did with this stencil and the Hero Arts Liquid Watercolor in Dandelion. More details on that at the end of the post. But seriously - how sweet is that little scene? I fussy cut the images from Welcome Home, and then went around the edges with my Gasenfude brush pen. The sentiment is from this stamp set.

Now speaking of liquid watercolor - I also made two fun salted watercolor backgrounds with the Deep Ocean color - one for my beautiful Color Layering Fox...

And one for my beautiful Color Layering Koi. I used the MISTI to curve the sentiment around the circle I cut out with the Circle Infinity dies. The sequins are this mix.

So do you want to know how I created that yellow rug and these fun backgrounds? Of course you do - I wouldn't have any crazy people visiting my blog!
