Grateful for you

I was pleased to see my Birthday Hare was one of the Top 7 at the Allsorts 'Spring' challenge and the team invited me to join them as Guest Designer on their 'Monochromatic' challenge.  I've made this card with more stamps from the IndigoBlu magazine box kit - the same kit that I used for my 'Birthday Hare' card. There are two great prizes of stamps and stencil for the lucky winners of the challenge.

To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" white matt card blank
     IndigoBlu 'Mixed-media Special 11' magazine box kit
     Versafine Vintage Sepia ink
     Snippets of white matt card, brown matt card and brown patterned paper

I used brown ink to stamp the fox onto a snippet of brown paper before trimming it, layering it onto a slightly larger piece of brown card and attaching it to the front of the card blank. I was going to colour the fox, but as the detail on the fox was so good I decided to leave it as it is.  I stamped the sentiment onto another snippet of white matt card, fussy cut it and attached it to the front of the card with foam tape.

I am entering the following challengesl
     Ally's Angels - Anything Goes
     Cardz 4 Guyz - Clean and Simple
     CAS on Friday - Animals
     Love to Craft - Anything Goes
     Stamping Sensations - Anything Goes
     We Love Stamping - All Creatures Great and Small

  1. Gorgeous card with the focal Fox Kath, as you rightly say didn't need colour as so much details (might be one I need). Perfect for our theme at We Love Stamping as well.

    So pleased you joined us at Allsorts as our Guest Designer, thanks so much for providing inspiration.
