Hello!
Welcome back for my second post today.
Today I'm sharing my second Guest Design project, which is up on the Coloring With Pencils blog's October Challenge reminder post.
If you missed seeing my first project, it's HERE.
For this project, I was given this cute and nutty squirrel and bird in a basket image to work with from Last Minute Manda's A Bunch Of Nuts digi set. I made another 7.5" X 8" home decor piece for Honey and me. I sized it in PSE, printed it out on white hot press watercolor paper and fussy cut it. I used my Polychromos and Castle Arts pencils to color it.
The card base is KI Memories card stock and the leaves patterned paper was in my scraps stash. I edge distressed the edges with my Tim tool and inked them with brown chalk ink. I made a framed sentiment cutting some more of the pink KI and some white card with Spellbinders Labels 3 nested dies. I stippled Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink on the white card and then stamped my Clear Dollar, Papertrey Ink and W Plus 9 sentiments with Fallen Leaves and Summertime Versafine Clair inks. I stamped the Papertrey acorns with Rich Cocoa and Potter's Clay Memento inks. I added 2 hearts cut out of the pink KI using a Spellbinders die, and I used an orange glitter gel pen to trace around the frame and and green and a gold glitter gel pen on the word Fall.
I also added a plaid stitched ribbon to the bottom along with die cut leaves that were in my stash from previous projects. I also added a bare Memory Box tree branch cut from dark brown scrap card and some gear halves cut using a Sizzix die to make a fence. Lastly, I added some dots with a copper Viva Decor Pearl Paint Pen.
I used this sketch for my layout design scene.
Close-up of the framed sentiment I stamped. I love how it looks, like a sign.
And of course, you know me, I made it a little punny.
You can see the metallic gel-penning on the plaid Fall word.
Close-up to show the image coloring and also that I used a copper metallic pencil to color the basket bands. I used all of my warm greys (1-5) on the squirrel and black on his nose and the bird.
Definitely cute animals!
The center of the flower got some copper metallic pencil as well.
And final view.
Thanks for visiting me today.
And many thanks to Coloring With Pencils for asking me to guest design.
Have a wonderful Wednesday.

Again great use of pencil crayons to colour your page and again seamlessly done. I think this is one of your mediums.
Love the fall background, those leaves dotted around in those pretty colours are perfect for that sign you did - the plaid word is great.
The basket your little animal is sitting in is beautifully coloured and I like the way you blended your crayons to make the wood effect and then the shiny bands with the copper metallic pencil.
Another huge success and you included some gears peeking behind the ribbon so wse could enjoy it at AJJ where the theme is 'in gear'.
Thanks for another great entry Aimselee

This is cute, and it's another clever way to incorporate gears. I like how they make a great border. And I like your fall background as well as the other fall details. Thanks for joining us at AJJ again. This works for Neet's challenge at AJJ, and thanks for joining us. Did you see the email I sent you? Hope you're having a nice week. hugs-Erika

This is a fun autumn country scene! Thanks for making a delivery again to FarmQuest General Store! --Becca
A pretty autumnal card. I struggle to use my edge distresser - I usually manage to tear the card.

This is fab! I love the expression on the squirrels face, it's like someone's just disturbed him from a lovely dream! Fab colouring!
I'm trying to 'sort' my craft room (it's a nightmare!) and I've uncovered pencils I forgot I had, and the ribbon! I think I could wrap ribbon all the way around the world I have so much of it. I REALLY must start to use it.
Thanks for joining us again Aimeslee, it's always a pleasure to see your fabulous creations.

My word Aimeslee - what a lot of craft 'stuff' you have. I thought I had a lot until I read about everything you use in your projects. Thrilled to read about your Polychromos pencils. I have one of the huge (expensive) sets which are used a great deal with parchment work. Although I am not 'parching' at the moment I still use them.
I love what you have done and thank you for sharing them both with us.
