My first Christmas card of the year



I can't really believe I have made a Christmas card already and in this heat! This Kraftin' Kimmie Fox really spoke to me though. My Nan's maiden name was Fox so they are kinda a special animal for me :)
This little dude is from the Furry Holiday Wishes stamp set and the sentiment comes from the same set. I coloured him up with the following copic markers:
Fur:YR27, YR68, YR15 + E41 on tip of tail/ under chin
In ears: YR61
Jumper: G7, G14, YG03
Shorts: C9, C7, C3
Candy cane: R59, R29 + B00, B000


I wanted the fox to be the standout of this card so kept the background quite simple. I used the starfall stencil from Heffy Doodle with some Golden Era Nuvo Glacier paste on some dark blue card stock then tore a piece of white card to give a sort of snow mound for him to be standing on. For a little bit of extra sparkle and dimension I put in a few sequins.

I am entering this card for the following challenges:
The Holly and the ivy - Anything Christmas goes
A place to start - Make your own background
Artsy stamper - It's a guy thing
Path of positivity - Furry or feathery friends
Fab n' Funky - Christmas
The paper Girls - All about boys

Thank you for taking the time to look at my blog. I would love it if you would follow me.

Huge hugs

    This guy is so adorable with his Christmas Candy Cane! Fun that your Nan's name was Fox; I'm sure this reminds you of her and fun holidays! ;) Thanks for sharing with us at Path of Positivity. ~Katrina

    I love this. It's so cute. Great coloring, too. I have a friend with the last name of Fox and made him a Christmas fox card last year. I can't make it again so I may have to check this one out. Maybe. [Bunny]
