Penny Black and More - September Challenge

Good morning! Hard to believe it's already September!!! Today is also the start of a new theme at Penny Black and More challenge and this month it's all about Animals! Hope you can join us. The challenge runs until the end of the month so there is plenty of time. Great prizes are up for grabs again, this time  from Penny Black and Clever Cut. 

September means the beginning of the fall season so I decided to use fall colors on my card and I feel like foxes are more present in the fall too, so that's the animal I am featuring on today's card. 

It's been a while since I used the cute stamp set Smile All Day by Penny Black. I started out by masking the moon with a circle die cut, then inked up the background with Antique Linen, Victorian Velvet, Faded Jeans and Seedless Preserves distress inks (in that order). Then I used a hand cut mask for the hill and inked with Peeled Paint distress ink to create a hill. Removed all masks and then stamped the fox with butterfly image.

The fox has been stamped again on Bristol Vellum paper with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and heat embossed so I could watercolor. I used Rusted Hinge distress ink for some simple watercoloring, then fussy cut the fox. Before I added him to the card, I used the grass stamp from the Penny Black set Enjoy Life on the  background stamped with Peeled Paint distress ink, then  he's been added to the card with pop up tape. The sentiment is from the Penny Black set Friendship, also stamped with Versafine Clair  ink and heat embossed with ultra fine clear embossing powder. I thought the card needed something extra so I found this sheer purple polka dotted ribbon in my ribbon scraps purchased from Joann's years ago, and added it to the card. The purple card stock is Stampin Up's Perfect Plum - I am not sure if this is a current color, it's been a while since I placed a Stampin Up order - and the card base is a heavy weight white card stock.
