Fox-y cards, take two!

27 Oct

I’m still in love with the Avery Elle More Stories stamp set.  The fox is so adorable (and very versatile)!  After taking the Online Card Class for Copic Markers I’m feeling a little more comfortable with my coloring abilities so I colored both foxes with copics and then fussy cut them for each scene.

For the first card I watercolored the sky with Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors then went over it with a Simon Says Stamp Falling Snow stencil and pearlescent embossing paste.  I die cut the watercolor piece and snowy hill with Avery Elle dies and then assembled the card.

A few weeks ago I participated in the AEIheartUChallenge and the winner was this beautiful card.  I LOVED Kim’s creation and wanted to create something similar; however, instead of using colored cardstock I wanted to try to create a night sky with distress inks.  I blended tumbled glass, salty ocean, chipped sapphire, and black soot ink and spritzed it with pearlized water for a soft shimmer.

So I’m continuing to stock up on my Christmas card supply and I have a few more ideas for these foxes that I hope to share soon!
