Winter Fox Christmas Card

Hey friends, I've created a winter scene for today's card, featuring the Peaceful Fox stamp set from Colorado Craft Company. Scroll down for a few brief, creative details. I also have affiliate product links at the end of this post, if you'd like a closer look at the products that I used, or would like to shop.

To begin, I used my Misti stamp positioner to stamp my tree in the center of an A2 white card panel with my black hybrid ink, which is great for coloring with alcohol markers.

Before coloring my tree, I used my cloudy skies stencil from Heffy Doodle and my Catherine Pooler ink in Pebble and stenciled my clouds with blending brushes, trying to avoid the white space near the center of my tree.

Some of the gray ink did get on my leaves, but I'm ok with it. I simply colored over it with my Olive Copic Marker.

All of my coloring was done with Copic markers which I buy from Scrapbookpal. I used brown/orange colors for my fox and they're linked at the end of this post. They have a sale on Copic markers right now, which are already some of the lowest prices on the market! The sale ends today though (12/9). Use coupon code COPIC1223 for an additional 10% off at checkout.

BONUS TIP: Leave a little white space on the tail and ears of the fox or embellish with a white gel pen.

I also stamped and colored on the inside of my card. I don't always do this but it was quick and easy, so why not?! I did some partial stamping, by stamping off the edge with my tree stamp. I have a larger Misti for this, but you can also just use a large acrylic block. Just make sure you have a juicy ink pad to get the best inking the first time. 

I also dotted on lots of "snow" using the handle end of a small paintbrush. I glued on a few sequins for a little sparkle too. My sentiment was stamped and fussy cut, with a touch of ink blending around the edges. 

I also wanted to tie in some colors with some of my paper stash, so I chose a green solid color from a paper pad and trimmed a strip, then found some brown/striped Authentique paper in my stash that I've had forever. I think it all ties in very nicely!
