Hello all,
I started working on this card a few days ago and got busy with other things. That was a good thing because in the mean time I got ideas from f.schles (white pen) and Susie Australia (stamping the tree/bushes in black around the edges). I also decided last night, because I didn't like how my bg turned out very well, to add the salt and I do like it better. I figure it looks like the sky is full of fairy dust or fireflies or something...in fact, I added Stickles to the salt marks. The two squirrels have a cute little pink heart in-between them with Smooches Top Coat on it to make it shimmer. I used white acrylic paint to add some shine to the big tree branch and squirrels (at first the squirrels ended up looking like skunks so I colored some of the white with black to get rid of the skunk look). I might add a sentiment I have that says "I'm nuts about you" but it depends on if I actually give it to someone...how many cards can I give my honey afterall. I actually made this for the F4A but added the heart so I could do the MIX challenge too. It has plenty of media used to make it MIX. I used the white pen to outline some of the trees for shine.
Thanks for looking!

AWWWWWE....this is just to precious! Love the color choice and the white pen work. Your silhouetted trees and bushes add to your mysterious night and the moonlit romance!

One of my favourites of your cards, Robin, you have created the most beautiful bg with the colouring and salted technique and I just love your sweet squirrels showing their love for one another!! You always use the most divine ribbon, too!!
