Winter Foxes

It's time again for a new theme at Allsorts challenge and Brenda's turn to host. She made up a fun moodboard as her option (see below) and of course the Anything Goes option is there too. Prizes come from Simon Says Stamp and  AALL and Create. You have two weeks to join us.

Lots of inspiration on the moodboard and I decided on a wintery scene with foxes using stamps by Tracy Evans Boutique Designs. If you're in the US then Simon Says Stamp is a great source for Tracy's stamps.

I started out by stamping the heart wreath from the set Framed Delights TE58 using Iced Spruce Distress ink. Next I used a torn paper mask for a hill inside the heart and then stamped the foxes from the set Blossoms of Hope TE62. I don't like how you can see parts of the hill ink through the foxes. If I'd start over again I'd heat emboss the foxes and then ink up the hill. Outside the heart I used more of Iced Spruce Distress ink and then flicked a white Posca pen onto the card. I added a few sparkly enamel dots onto the wreath but you have to look really close to see them.

Quote at the bottom is from the set Winter Delights TE23 and sentiment from the set Christmas Wishes TE22.
