Thankful Fox

Hi and welcome!  I'm thrilled to be Guest Designer over at Time Out Challenges.  This challenge is Inspired by Words:

'Give Thanks with a Grateful Heart'

A beautiful sentiment, indeed.  And here is my card:


I stamped, colored and die-cut the adorable fox image from Fall Fox and put him to one side.  On the white card base, I die-cut a square out of the top center and adhered some acetate and patterned paper in the gap.  I then stamped the sentiment using Stazon ink.

Finally, I adhered the wee fox with foam tape.  A very CAS card!




I used a sketch from SugarPea Designs Challenge, so I'm linking up there.

    I like the CAS-style of your card! And using patterned paper behind the acetate is so clever! That looks great!

    That little fox is so adorable, and you have colored his so beautifully. What a great idea to use acetate in the aperture, and stamping the sentiment on it. Fantastic and wonderfully CAS! It's wonderful to have you as GD! I have been an admirer of your work for quite a while!

    I love the look of the acetate over the patterned paper peeking through your square. Have you started a new trend?

    Congrats on your Guest Designer spot, Karren! Your little fox is so sweet, and you've colored him beautifully! I love the effect of the acetate over the pattern, too...I know it can be challenging to stamp on acetate, but your sentiment looks amazing! Such a charming card!
