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
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge - Christmas
Crimbo Crackers - Anything Goes - Christmas/Festive
2 Crafty Critter Crazies - Anythings Goes (thanks Carol G for letting me know about the challenge)

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.
