Welcome to Pink Cat Studio‘s Forest Animals release! These cute little critters will come in handy on their own or as companions to the gnomes that were released last week. I made a set of note cards that feature one of each type of animal. There are a lot of grouped photos in this post but, as always, you can click on any photo to see the full-size version.
The tree you see in the background of all the cards is Pretty Birds in a Tree from the Dots & Delights Collection which was released last June. I hadn’t used that digi and I thought it would be a great pairing with these animals.

The sentiments are from a Unity set called Dutch Mustard Soup and the baker’s twine is from The Twinery. To create the colourful twine forest floor (berries, moss and such), I taped a piece of Scor-Tape to the bottom of the white mat and twisted two colours of twine together as I laid it across. Once I was finished adding rows of twine, I trimmed the excess off the edges before adhering those mats to their respective mats on the card base.

Very cute cards! I love the crafty fox 😉
Thanks for letting me know about the DT call. I suck at coloring but I'll see if I can manage to give it a shot!

Emily, as always I am in awe of your skills! 🙂 What a fabulous idea for the "forest floor", and using scor-tape…genius!
These are such adorable cards. You work magic with markers. I am sooooo envious! Hope the weather in ontario isn't too bad. Stay warm!
Emily, your cards are so gorgeous!! I love the cute animals and the sentiments. Great colouring too. I like the hedgehog and the raccoon – adorable!

Love your twine trick, Em, and those little woodland critters sure are cute! I have a soft spot for the little deer, myself, but you've done an adorable job with them all.

Hi Emily, a gorgeous set of cute cards, love them :0) xxx
Emily this is a great set of cards and you are my twine hero!
So cute! Your coloring makes these little guys so likable…even the rabid trash-eater! I love that tree you used, too. Quite a woodland wonderland you made!
Ah…these are sooooo cute! I think the hedgehog is my favourite too, and one of my daughters loves hedgehogs. she would love this!
awwww…. these are soooooo adorable, Emily!! super cute set of cards! LOVE them!
So much for not buying any more stash! I think I'm going to have to break down and make my first Pink Cat Studio purchase… although digis don't really count as stash do they?
Your cards are adorable. I love the twine forest floors and your colouring is amazing – especially the shading on the fox (which I think is my fave). 🙂
Cute and adorable, I think the deer is my favorite, but you know what, I love them all!
They are ALL too CUTE!!! (= Love the twine you used also!!
These are superb and make a beautiful set. I can imagine them as a group on a little person's wall.
The MOST adorable set of cards! Fantastic coloring too 🙂

You really know how to make cute cards Emily! These are no exception! Just awesome!
Super sweet cards, Emily! Sadly I had no luck but I will just keep on tryin 😀 Janna
These critters are totally cute! I can't decide which I like better, the hedgehog or the "rabid trash eater". (Too funny, Meg!) Great use of twine, and it's hard to believe you resisted using that tree till now, it's so adorable!
Oh my, these a are super duper cute! Love the pairing of the animals with the trees and your twine is perfect. I really like PCS images – I think I am going to have to get that hedgehog, he is soooo adorable! Of course then I need the tree too :>)
