Jingle All The Way Fox in the Snow

Hello and welcome back,

What a lovely day it's been, I've mown the lawn, done some gardening...but boy am I tired now....lol...
So today I have a gorgeous card designed by Michelle Zindorf, she does a lot of beautiful brayered cards and she sells her Tutorials, giving step by step instructions of how to achieve the same beautiful cards that she does. I must say I am not one for brayering haven't done it for a long, long time. So I purchased some of her tutorials and am going to give it a go again.....
This card is not brayering, to achieve the sky you drag your ink pad across the card and then there is some sponging so it wasn't too bad...

 

I love that cute little fox in the middle of the snow bound hills...

 

I cut out the trees using the Sleigh Ride Edgelits, the flourish in the background is from the Stamp Set Everything Eleanor, it looks like the wind blowing, clever huh....

 

The little fox has been stamped in Cajun Craze and is from the Stamp Set Jingle All the Way. ( If you buy this stamp set and the Edgelits together you save 15% off the regular price.)

 

Love, love, love this Whisper White Organza Ribbon, so glad it carried over to this year. it's got to my favourite, I love too that you can use your ink pads to colour the ribbon to co-ordinate with your projects. Gorgeous.....

 

This sentiment is from the Stamp Set Sassy Salutations and I stamped it in versamark and sprinkled white embossing power on and heat embossed it... There's Glitter on them there hills...lol . Dazzling Diamonds to be exact...

 

 

The moon is sponged through a 1" circle template with Whisper White ink...

I hope you like today's card, thanks for stopping by.....

Hi there and welcome back...

Today's card features the Woodland Embossing Folder and An Open Heart Stamp Set with the beautiful sentiment from the Wondrous Wreath Stamp Set...

 

This card was inspired by one made by Michelle Zindorf, although I have had to improvise as I didn't have all of the products that she used. The gorgeous bird is from An Open Heart Stamp Set, its stamped in Basic Black onto Whisper White card and coloured in with Crumb Cake, So Saffron and Delightful Dijon Stampin' Write Markers. It is then cut out ready to attach to the card.

 

The background has been sponged using Soft Sky, Marina Mist and Island Indigo Inks (I didn't have any sponges so I used my daubers which didn't quite get the same finish), not too bad though.. Then you put it through the big shot in the Woodland Embossing Folder.
The next step is to brayer Smoky Slate ink over the raised trees, followed by Whisper White ink.

 
I hand cut the branch as I didn't have the Among the Branches Stamp Set (it will be on my next order though!!!) I sponged it with Smoky Slate  and Whisper White inks and then stuck it on the card. The tiny leaves are from the Perpetual Birthday Calendar Stamp Set (Very Useful) Instead of the Among the Branches Set ( I so need this set) and are stamped in Pumpkin Pie and Delightful Dijon.

 

The beautiful sentiment is stamped in Basic Black onto Vellum and attached to the card and then I have taken a Decorative Label punched out of Basic Grey card, cut it in half and attached it to the side of the card, then finished it off with some White Candy Dots.

 

I'm still pretty pleased with the final card, check out Michelle's card HERE

Thanks for stopping by have a great day..
