Inspiration: Mojo Monday #533 + Simon Says Stamp Wednesday (Funny/humourous)
I fell in love with the Sweater Weather in the Woods stamp set from My Favorite Things as soon as it came out last year. Those little animals all look very Canadian to me! I don't think I was the only one who loved on that set, as it took a while for my local store to be able to get it in stock. When it finally came in, I was already past fall creations. I knew I would circle back to it eventually, but it took all this time before I did. I had spotted the Fall Farmhouse collection in my stash and pulled it aside to use soon, so it seems like a natural pairing with the Sweater Weather set. I stamped all five critters and colored them in shades inspired by the papers using Copic markers. The sentiments from the set are adorable, so I stamped and embossed in Deep Sea Baked Texture embossing powder the one that reads, "There's nothing foxier than you in a sweater." I layered paper as per the sketch, tied thick baker's twine, organized my images around the card and added two Café au lait pearls. The card was still missing something so I started looking through my new Lawn Fawn dies and I found a cute curvy greenery image in the Shadow Box Card Fireplace Add-On set. It has the little bow that goes with it as well and it's supposed to be greenery decorating the mantel, but I cut two pieces, cut off the excess and arranged the die-cuts at the top of the card, topped with Burnished Rose mirror cardstock bows, topped with gems. That filled the space nicely and tied in the green from the papers and coloring.
