I kept this card fairly simple since I wanted the hamster and the fun sentiment to be the focal point of my card. Once I inked the die cuts on the edges, it all came together very quickly.
I found the perfect paper in my stash for the Valentine's theme. I heat embossed a sentiment from the Scrappy Moms (retired) "Crazy for You" stamp set and hand cut the edges into a banner shape. An extra banner was cut to layer underneath the sentiment.
I colored in the eyes with a black gel pen and added a tiny white dot to each of the eyes with a white gel pen. A bit of chalk was brushed on to the cheeks which is a bit hard to see in the pictures.
The sentiment was adhered onto the die cut rectangle and anchored with the sweet hamster wheel. A couple of enamel shaped hearts were placed on the hand cut banner.
Here are the dies I used to create my card, available in the shop:
