Hello, friends! It's good to see you again.
You may remember I said I was going to use this particular 2013 MME Notable designer paper on every card until it was gone. I had such a little bit left, but it was still card-worthy. Well, today's card finished it off -- happy dance! There will be one more post using this paper, but I decided to mix things up a bit as there are some challenges that inspired me. They call for something new, a birthday, and pretty papers. I'll list all at the end.
My "something new" (to me) is the Cottage Cutz Folk Art Fox. I loved their entire folk art release, but waited for a sale and then picked up a few pieces. Just because I'm focusing on the "new" doesn't mean the old stuff gets neglected -- such as the Memory Box Tree of Wonder (2013), and the Tutti Designs heart I tucked into the branches. In fact, everything on this card, other than the fox, has been residing in my toy box for years.
For these smallest scraps it was infinite fun to use them for the fox and scene. Nothing fancy, just folk art simplicity. Ideas came along the way. I don't even remember why I chose to tuck a heart into the tree branches, but I love it. I added Stickles glitter to the flower centers, sponged the sky.
The challenges I had in mind at the start are listed below:
A Cut Above -- Anything goes using die cuts.
Seize the Birthday #297 -- Use something new. My Folk Art Fox is new (to me).
NBUS Challenge #70 -- My "never before use schtuff" is the Cottage Cutz Folk Art Fox
Thanks ever so much for dropping in to share the crafty good times with me. Have a happy day!
