I needed a birthday card for my youngest niece, Roisin, who recently turned 5, so came up with this card.
I Copic-colored the little fox and balloons before cutting them out with the matching dies. I then created a little background for him using a cloud die-cut as a stencil. The slope was sponged with Peeled Paint and Mowed Lawn inks.
I die-cut a "5" and colored it with Wink of Stella before covering it with Glossy Accents. Once it was dry, I sat the fox on it and gave him the balloons to hold! A white-embossed sentiment and the card was finished.
Thanks for visiting. As always, the rest of the design team have some wonderful cards for your viewing pleasure.

Oh those puffy clouds, the sweet balloons and that foxy fox! Adorable! And I love the glossy five!
Oh, wow, Karren, this is SO cute! Best one of the DT cards at FMS this time - by far.
I love everything about this! The sponged cloudy background, the expertly colored balloons, that cute little shimmery fox. I could go on. In fact I will. The big "5", the grassy hill. This is absolutely wonderful!! :)
This little guy is adorable, and I love how you have him sitting on top of the "5". Your sponging and coloring skills always leave me in awe. Wonderful card, Karren!
So cute Karren - I love the little fox perched atop the big 5! I'm sure Roisin will love it!
Love the sketch & love how you used it, Karren!
This is such a fabulous design! I love how you sat the fox on the 5! The scenery, grass and clouds in the sky are the perfect background for this scene. LOVE it!

Oh Karren! This is just the cutest card! I love that little fox! He's so sweet! You have done such a great job with the colouring! Such a perfect card for a 5 year old! She will love it!
Perfect card for a 5 year old. Your colouring is amazing - I think your colouring is right up there with Rita's too! I envy your skill - I still find copics a little tricky.
This is too cute, Karren! I really love this set and I LOVE your coloring! (and I need to go add a white gel pen to my wishlist).
There is nothing better than a personalized birthday card! This is so awesome!!
