AAA Cards - Woodland Animals Challenge

It is time for another challenge at AAA Cards - and this week, we are challenging you to incorporate woodland animals into your card design:




My take on woodland animals today is a little bit different - I passed over my "cute" woodland animal stamp sets, and chose this elegant fox stamp that I picked up from Unity Stamps.



I stamped my foxy fox in Versafine Onyx ink and then I watercoloured her with Distress Inks and die cut her with a Spellbinders frame die.

The background was a ton of fun to create. I really wanted to do a striped foil background (I am loving that trend!) but I haven't bought the supplies yet so I did the next best thing - metallic leafing. I laid down some pieces of Be Creative tape (carefully measured). I peeled off the backing and used the adhesive to lay down the leafing. I used Indigo Blu Eton Mess leafing which is mostly silver but does contain a few copper and gold flakes - I thought that it would complement the fox well.

Looking forward to seeing everyone's take on our challenge - check it out here!!!

Thanks for stopping by!

  3. That image is very very cool. I love the patter on its 'fur'. Your background with the gold leaf is very clever - and classy. Something i've always wanted to try. Tell me, how much did it go everywhere? :D
