I chose Squirrel #2 from the Catherine's Animals website for today's Inspiration challenge because I wanted to use this new stamp set designed by my friend Carolyn King (aka Cammie) and manufactured by Gina K. Designs. The name of the set is Whimsical Autumn and has 12 fabulous stamps in it. BUT, what's even cooler is that Carolyn is donating 100% of the sales proceeds to the Alzheimer's Association.
I colored my squirrel with SU reinkers and blender pen. I used crystal effects on the apple. The bg is stamped with the apple from this set, as well as SU's Itty Bitty bg stamp.
TFL!

This is so totally on the mark, Charlene! It's absolutely perfect. It's very clear where your inspiration came from today! This is just so adorable. Love Cammie's new stamp. I'm especially proud to know a fellow stamper is donating her proceeds to the Alzheimer's Association - how great is that?
Fabulous card, my friend,

How cute, Charlene--will have to check out that set because the cause is such a good one. Terrific job of coloring and like that great background you created!
