TGIF--Hello everyone.. This is my card for today's challenge to give a stamp a switcheroo.. Well, every time I look at the Scandinavian Season Mitten, I see a squirrel... Call me weird or "special", but I really do. So for today I was going to just see how close to a squirrel it really was. Granted I did have to add a Big Fluffy Tail and a nose, and give him a acorn, but everything else was there...
The base card is Chocolate Chip layered with Frances Meyer Autumn Splash DP. The top layer is Whisper White, I stamped the Fantasy tree from Penny Black in VersaMark and embossed with Dark Brown, sponged around the edges with More Mustard, Chocolate Chip and Pumpkin Pie. Cut out with the nestibilities, layered this on Pumpkin Pie CS and then layered that on Chocolate Chip CS. Doodled around the edges of the Pumpin Pie. Added ribbon between the DP and the top image. The sentiment "Happy" is from Stampibilities and is stamped in Basic Black ink on Pumpkin Pie CS and punched out with the SU oval punch and then layered on Chocolate Chip. This is popped up on pop dots. The cute little squirrel is stamped with the mitten from Scandinavian Season in Versamark on Whisper White CS and then embossed with Dark Brown embossing powder. I colored him with SU markers. Added tail and googly eye and gave him an acorn. He is also popped up on pop dots. Added autumn jewels in the tree for fall color and added the jewel leaf and the sticker leaves. The FALL sentiment is from Dress It Up and are alphabet tiles. Also added copper stickles around the scallop edge. Well, what do you think, Squirrel or Mitten??

Wow! Love all the details you put into this card. My vote is for a squirrel, and I think he turned out great. I love all your gems on the tree too. Outstanding work.
