Sweet Little Fox

Well hello there! Long time, no blog! You've heard that a lot from me, haven't you? WELL! I've been on a bit of a cardmaking roll this weekend, so I'll be here blogging at least a few times this week!! Which means I'll probably lose some more followers. Whenever I actually blog after a long break, a bunch of people unsubscribe. It's like "oh yeah, I forgot about her, I should delete her!" Nice. HAHAHA! Oh well. But please do consider keeping me around, because I actually have a few fun stampy things coming soon - a guest design spot - a return to a design team I love - yup, that's right, I hope to rejoin the stamping world in 2012! WOOT!

But enough blah blah blah, let's get to today's card, shall we?


I tried out such a FUN technique for this card!! My genius friend Lydia shared it a little while back. I stamped the sweet little Hero Arts Sleepy Fox in black ink, then set it on a light box with another paper on top of it. I used the lines as a guide as I colored with Copics. The result - my sweet little fox is pure Copic, it doesn't have a black line!!! It looks almost like a painting! So much fun!!


I also turned to one of my all-time favorite blog challenges for this card - Mojo Monday!! It's been way too long since their awesome sketches got my mojo flowing!


Thanks for stopping by, I so appreciate all of you who have stuck with me through the thick & thin!!


  • Stamps: E5466 Sleepy Fox, CL272 All Occasion Messages from Hero Arts
  • Paper: White & pink cardstock, Echo Park Dots & Stripes DP
  • Ink: Copic markers, Memento tuxedo black
  • Other: Tiny Attacher (staples), pink ribbon (May Arts from Hambo Stamps), green scallop ribbon from stash, Spellbinders die, white heart button

    Oh that is SO freaking adorable!!! Thank you for mentioning me!!

    Also, your nail polish is TDF and totally matches your fox!

    Also, that reminds me, I have a fox card to blog!

    Also, people unsub from me ALL the time after a break so I'm ROFL because your first paragraph is exactly what I think is going through their heads!!

    Love this! I still need to try it.

    And I don't know what TDF is - I thought your nail polish was Muppets. :)

    Oh, and you're stuck with me, too, babe. I'll NEVAH un-sub.
