Woodland Creatures at Christmas Kickstart Challenge.

There's a new theme on the Christmas Kickstart Challenge.   Jo has challenged us to use Woodland Creatures on our cards.   I had a Rosie's Studio fox stamp set, plus a set that came with the September Make Cards Today that had some cute foxes on it... so I came up with two cards.

This was the first card I did and I have to say it's my favourite.   The little fox is from Rose's Studio,  I struggled to use the layering stamps so just stamped the detail layer and used a Altenew ink and a Tombow blender pen to colour it it.  I fussy cut him out ( yes, decided it was a boy!) My base was made by die cutting a Simon Says Stamp stitched circle die.  I used the free stamp set to stamp the Holly leaves around the edge.  and to stamp the sentiment.    To make the inside of the of the circle, I used Altenew inks to ink blend the background.  I added the layer trees from another freebie set.  For the snow banks I did some more ink blending.  I then some White Out correction pen for the snow on the trees and as the snow falling.  I added Foxy and it was done.  - but then as I as layering the top layer over the base - I got some blue ink on the front, so to save it, I did some more ink blending on the card.

I'm also entering this one into

My second card is very CAS

 I started with the panel - it was already cut on my desk.  I used a Cuttlebug Embossing Folder to add some texture as I knew I wanted to keep it all white.   I stamped the little Foxy onto the base card. I used Zig Markers to colour up the image and added the sentiment and ran a gold pen around the oval.

Both of these have been added to Jo's challenge.
