This photo immediately brought to mind an old SU set called Under the Stars. Do you remember it? Here's my card. I have to tell you that I had a bad experience with a raccoon and camping at the ocean but this little guy is pretty cute.
I punched out the tag and stamped the critters. Then I ran the tag through my Big Shot with the Linen Impression plate to give it a tad bit of texture. Next I inked around the edge with the stamp pad and added the twine. A piece of Autumn Chicken Scratch DSP and a sentiment finishes it off. The tag is popped up on dimensionals. A Clean & Simple design.
Supplies:
Stamps: Under the Stars (SU), sentiment is from Peaceful Wildflowers (MFT)
Paper: Kraft (SU), Neena Solar White, Autumn Chicken Scratch Pattern Pack (PTI)
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black, Classic Kraft (PTI)
Other: Monthly Moments Journal Card 6 die, Linen & Canvas Impression Plate (PTI), dimensionals (Recollections)
Well I couldn't help myself. I had to stamp another card.
I really liked the design of this card but ran into a few troubles. I stamped the sentiment on the vellum with Versafine Onyx black and it started to bleed. I also knew that it would be wet so I hit with my heat gun. And hit again. And hit it again. Wow. It just wouldn't dry. So it's smudgy. Is that a word? Next time I will emboss it. Then I stamped the raccoon and got out my stamp-a-majig to line up the can of beans. After stamping I checked it out. Really? I can't even line it up with a stamp-a-majig. Finally I stamped the bear, ran it through my wood impression plate and popped it up on dimensionals. I still like the card, even with it's imperfections.
Hope you all will join us and make a Forest Friend card for the challenge.
Have a great day!

I think both cards look really cute. And I had to giggle at your explanations of the mishaps of the second...no one would have been able to tell and I can't see any mistakes now. I like how you used the staples to attach the vellum-goes with the rustic feel x
Super textures on your cards..I had not noticed the Smudgys...Fun Stamps:)

Love both cards and I remember this set well!! I have not used it in a while (I bought the digital version for MDS) but you have inspired me to try :-) Love the racoon as well with the beans and imperfections are what makes our cards original :-)
