I stamped my birches and coloured them with pencils, then stamped a whole lot of foliage with several greens. I stamped my bluebells and foxgloves, and added a whole ton of Liquid Pearls and Stickles. I sponged green shade and yellow sunshine into the open space. To finish off I added a little red squirrel, and some butterflies dancing in the sunlight.
Oh - and I get extra cookies for embroidering leaves with a silky green floss.

So creative! Love the idea of green floss on the leaves. I forgot about the extra cookie opinion is stitches! Thanks for reminding me! . This is a beautiful woodland scene. It is inspiring me!

Oh my gosh, I could get lost in your beautiful woodlands. Everything about this is wonderful Sabrina. Your colouring is amazing and the flowers are stunning. Straight into My Favs. Wow, wow, wow. I forgot about the stitching, your leaves must look even more special in real life my friend.

The squirrel reminds me of a trip to Russia we took a few years back. We were driving through a forested area and we asked the guide what kinds of animals they had in their forests. She said there used to be bears and deer but they are mostly gone but they still have the mighty SquiRREL. She pronounced it just like this and it didn't occur to us until much later she was talking about squirrels. She wasn't joking as she had absolutely no sense of humour, we laughed ourselves silly when we figured out what she was saying.

This is just wonderful, Sabrina! The trees are amazing, and the flowers are lovely. The squirrel is certainly happy to be there - and who can blame him?
