The theme of the challenge is Fall, which is really exciting for me since it's my favorite season. I just love the crisp, chilly air (and how the lack of humidity makes for better hair days for this curly girl!). I love sweaters and boots and apple cider, and the beautiful warm colors and textures. So, when I was brainstorming what to make for my project, I thought that the fox from Critters in the Forest would be a great warm, orange focal point, and the fun neutrals from this past month's Studio Calico card kit would go perfectly together. Add a bit of cork, and voila! Fall!

In addition to Critters in the Forest, I got to use the super fun set that Lawn Fawn put together for Studio Calico. Don't you just love the cute speech bubble and the arrows?!

ReplyDeleteI need to update; my oldest is in kindergarten. :D Honestly, it's in five minute increments while they are working on something, or napping. It's a miracle I get any crafting in. :) Thanks!!
Deletelove your super fun card!!
ReplyDeleteI liked your multi layered card. The fox and the bird are 2 of my favorite critters. I need some of the speech bubbles quick. Thanks for giving away your own special blog candy.
ReplyDeleteJen, I forgot to tell you I'm a follower.
ReplyDeleteSo super sweet!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Jen, I don't know what came in the Calico kit, but I do love how your card turned out. You are such a wiz with all those layers. I just love the look, but I have only given it a shot a couple of times myself and I never did finish the cards. lol... Chicken I guess. I think your card is fantastic and it makes me want to grab a warm cup of coffee and sit by my fire while I watch an awesome Christmas movie. lol... Sorry, it just really speaks fall to me and that always leads me into a movie marathon of watching all my favorite Christmas movies. Anyway, great use of colors, textures and all around wonderfully talented card making. Truly beautiful card. Have a wonderful weekend, Hugs Lisa G

ReplyDeleteJust beautiful! I love all of your choices of paper and how the white tag makes them pop. I really like the use of cork. How do you buy the cork? Is it for crafting or is it just a piece cut from a big piece of cork? TFS, really inspired me!
