Hey Foxy!

It was a foxy kind of day!  :)  The Color Throwdown #283 called for grey, orange, and green.  I was thinking about what I could stamp and I suddenly thought…I could make a fox card.  I just love the image from Kelly Purkey's Hey, Foxy stamp set (I've seen a lot of other cute ones around too, but I just have the one).  I had two completely different trains of thought, so I decided to just make two!  Both cards also follow Mojo Monday's sketch #336.

Foxy card number one features watercolour using my brush pen and Stampin Up ink in Peach Parfait and Pear Pizzazz.  I added stickles to his chest and tip of his tail.  I stamped the sentiment using StazOn in Cloudy Sky (it doesn't look like it, but it's a dark grey).  I used a piece of striped vellum from Daiso for the base and added a strip down the center (MME All Spice), also where I applied my adhesive under the vellum.  I created a border on the top and bottom of the piece splitting both a diecut (MFT Scalloped Ribbon) and glitter tape (AC).  I added a cluster of MME enamel dots and tied a piece of Doodlebug baker's twine on top.

Card Number 2 went along the paper-piecing and diecut route.  After I did my watercolor version, I thought he might also look cute paper pieced.  And he does.  Afterwards, I thought I could add a hen house because we all know what foxes like - it's actually the MFT Homespun Birdhouse die.  Underneath the circle, I cut a woodgrain fence from MFT and I think it helps to bring the scene together.  I used the centers from the Pretty Posies die for a cluster, attaching Recollections Glitter Adhesive Dots in brown.

Which card do you like best?  I can't decide.

Thanks for checking out my post!
