Foxy Love I can't believe it's the end of October and less than two months til Christmas. The time is just flying by and and as usual I'm late with this months challenge. Had the idea in my head for ages but other things got in the way. I loved playing with this fox image from MMedel Illustration and pleased with the way it turned out. I printed it twice, rotated one of them, so they look like they are kissing and used my copics to colour them. Was going to stamp them on the card front but decided to fussy cut them out as I thought I might like to have them raised up. I Masked the moon off and coloured the background in Distress oxides. The sentiment is from an Altenew set called To the Moon  which went perfect with the kissing foxes. Added stars with a white gel pen and a few hearts and all done. In the end the foxes where just glued flat to the card. Copics: Foxes: YR000,15,18,21,R20,E20,40,42,49, Black 100

It's your Birthday Last card today for lesson 5. Was not really happy with this one but thought I would put it up anyway. The large snowflake was cut out with a piece of the background I had left from another card and placed over the nice piece I liked but it hides to much of it. Added the flowers and changed it to a birthday card and it's not singing to me. I guess that what happens when you just don't stop when you should and then it's to late. We live and learn.

Out of this World I think this might be my favourite so far. When I saw the background my first thought was outer space and I have a couple to stamps that would work and this set won out. I loved the sentiment on this set  and this is the result. Stamped the spaceman from Uniquely Creative set Out of this World ,  coloured it with copics and fussy cut it out. Die cut a circle and used lesson 5 technique to colour it and mount it with dimensional tape to the background after adding the string and spaceman. The sentiment was embossed with clear embossing powder and adhered with dimensional tape. Added some white enamel dots for stars and I am happy it came out as I planned. They don't always (LOL). Copics: Spaceman: Skin: E000,01. Hair: E25,29. Suit: W1,3,5,N0,3,5,E33,35,R35,B18.

 Happy Birthday Card 2 Still using the backgrounds I made with the lesson 5 techniques. Same colour scheme and used dies again to decorate the card. It's been great to go through my stash and use up lots of cut offs and scraps. Knew they would come in handy one day. Layered the flower die cuts, added a couple of leaves and then stamped a birthday sentiment. Thought it needed a little something extra so found these enamel dots that match perfectly. Only a couple more to finish then onto lesson 6. Have enjoyed this so much.

Another Christmas Card. Second last lesson and I have made four backgrounds and this is the first card finished. Used the same colour combination as I wanted to make a couple of Christmas cards but one will probably end up a space one. The background die is the one I used on an earlier card called flower garden from Die-Versions and the snowflakes are the cutout flower centres from the die. They are to nice to waste. The deer is from Birch Trees and Deer from Cottage cuts and the pine trees from Couture Creations. Added a pearl to the snowflake centres and stamped Merry Christmas from an old Hero Arts kit. Came together pretty muck like the idea in my head so another added to the Christmas list for this year.
