LBB Christmas Fox New Release!

You know how I love colouring foxes! So pleased when I found out one of the new releases at Little Blue Button is this smashing Christmas Fox! Isn't he gorgeous??

If you would like to purchase him, he is the in the shop HERE! Plus, good news, if you are reading this near the time of posting there is an offer for 30% off in the LBB Shop and you can use it from the 1st to the 5th November! Just use code "treat30". You can use it on any purchase too!

I couldn't resist embellishing him with some baubles, as why do foxes have antlers if not to add on accessories? :)

He is polychromos on kraft card. I used the same fur technique as normal. I used a posca pen for highlights. Glossy accents on the baubles, eyes and nose. And some stickles on the snow. Obviously I couldn't resist adding some knitting texture too! Font is Concurso Mod.

My most adaptable christmas card idea from 2016

Using just two die sets from Sweet Dixie and some ink blending I made a large portion of this years Xmas card orders using one main design.

Using a large range of distress inks, I flicked water and added Posca Pen, to create deep rich snowy or nighttime backgrounds.

I then diecut in white card the two Sweet Dixie dies, Bethlehem (SDD192) and Here Comes Santa (SDD199) and layered them over the top. I added ribbon and other die cut parts and a greeting.

In some case I also personalised with something appropriate for the recipient, such as cats or dogs.

Here Comes Santa Village + Star from Bethlehem Set + Trees from Tim Sizzix Holiday Joy with German Shepherd silhouettes cut by hand.

As above in a bluer colour scheme and square format. No dogs but lovely snowflake ribbon from Hobbycraft.

Cat version in purples using the Bethlehem (SDD192) die set, including the star and palm trees. Cat die from dovecraft. 

Bethlehem set on a far darker, more night-time-ish background effect.

Font used is mainly Concurso Moderne.
