Give Thanks -- for Di's Digistamps Challenge

 Hello, everyone.  Thanks for stopping by today!  I'm excited to once again be on the Di's Digistamps Challenge team.  I was on it some years ago, but needed to drop for health reasons.  I'm pleased to say I am feeling well again, and am back on board.  I just love Di's super sweet images.  They are so fun to create with!

Di's Digistamps challenges run for 2 weeks.  They always start on a Saturday.  This time, the theme is 'Thankful or Happy Harvest'.  As long as you stick with the theme, you can use any image, but if you use a Di's Digistamps image, you get a bigger prize.  Her images can be found in the Di's Digistamps Etsy shop.

Following the 'Thankful' theme, I used the darling Squirrel Fun image to create this: 

I colored Squirrel Fun using a mix of Copic markers.  Once I got Squirrel Fun  colored the way I wanted it, I used a set of Spellbinders dies to cut it out and back it.  The background paper with the leaves and acorns is from Brutus Monroe.  The sentiment, matching die, and sticky back pearls are from Taylored Expressions.

I hope you can join us at Di's Digistamps Challenges this fortnight. There are so many darling images in the shop that fit this theme, and I'd love to see what you create!
