A Lil Bit Foxy

Lawn Fawn have the cutest stamps, right? They have some competition but I think they consistently turn out the cutest little critters. After watching this video from Jennifer McGuire about the latest release, I had a look on headed straight to Make The Day Special and again was impressed by how quickly they have the new US stuff in…and bought some sets:

Joy To The Woods Deck the Halls

Then purely by chance (after I had made this card, honest) I saw that Moxie Fab are having a fox themed challenge, so it would be rude not to enter:

The background is Hero Arts - and to be honest I don’t have much luck with it stamping cleanly but that could just be me – which I embossed with Wow! Silver Pearl powder (another recommendation of Mrs McGuire) and the trees are stamped in Memento London Fog on to vellum (or the Hobbycraft equivalent any how). It needs a sentiment but I’m leaving as is for now in the hope inspiration will strike at a later date…

Feathered Friends

Another recent trend is flamingos. Who doesn't like flamingos – except maybe the blue green algae.

The watering hole behind it, still looks pretty much like the cloud it is but I’m pleased with the effect of the sequins –  borrowed from Lucy Abrams.
