Deck the Halls with Inky Paws Blog Hop (+GIVEAWAY!)

Busy day on the blog with lots of giveaways!!  For the Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop please click here!  For the Simon Says Stamp Diecember blog hop please click here!  For the Where Creativity Meets C9 Challenge post please click here!
Good morning!  I’m excited to be a stop on the Deck the Halls with Inky Paws Blog Hop!  Many, many thanks to Jennifer for inviting me to be part of this special week!  For my card today I played with the cute Fox Hollow stamp set!  If you know anything about me, you know I’ve got a thing for foxes! 😉
I’ve recently started experimenting with colored pencils and these stamps were perfect for coloring!  I stamped the fox onto toned grey paper with black ink before coloring him with prismacolor colored pencils.  I tried to add a little shading in his fur though it’s definitely still a learning process for me!  Once I was happy with my fox I added a little snow for him to sit in and then stamped the snowflakes and sentiment from Fox Hollow.  I stamped them with versamark and heat-embossed them with white embossing powder.  Finally I trimmed the paper down and adhered it to a red panel.  And that’s it!  A clean and simple holiday card with an absolutely adorable fox!

  14. I love that your fox seems to be enjoying the snowflakes coming down! I’ve started using colored pencils, too, so I always love seeing how someone else has used them!

  16. Love the grey card and the little fox with snowflakes take me back to when my son was very small and a snowflake melted on his nose. Thank you for that.
