Brighter Days

 

Today I have an encouragement card to share with you.  This one uses files from:

 

•  Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbon - Center Step Panel Card
•  Marjorie Ann Designs - Bunch of Nuts (Squirrel)

I wanted a different style card for this little cutie so that he really popped, and I think this center step card was perfect.  I also decided to do something a little different with his nose.  I wanted it to have that kind of wet, shiny look so I applied some black enamel accents and then after it dried I used the gel pen to add the white.  Of course this shows up much better in real life than it does in the photograph.

 

The stamped sentiment on my card is from the Encouragement stamp set from Jaded Blossom.
