Just a quick little post with a card made with Spellbinders' Woodland Tales 6x6 paper pack. Honestly, I was a bit disappointed with the paper as it is thinner than I like. BUT, after playing with those stackable 3D characters from Marcia a few weeks ago, I put my thinking cap on and just had to use this guy... probably the reason I bought the pad in the first place!
There are two sheets of each design included in the pack.
One was cut to 4 1/8" by 5 1/4" - I fussy-cut out the fox from the second
and glued him to a sheet of Hammermill paper - heavy enough to give him stability, and thin enough to cut without my hand cramping - hey, it's a thing!
I mounted the hand cut fox over the top using foam squares and
was happy with the 3D effect I had hoped for!
I added some script with Delicata Silver ink which added a lovely bit
of shimmer to the paper. A sentiment strip from my stash, and another left
over from tomorrow's card was lifted in the same manner as the fox.
Three pretty grey enamel dots topped it off.
Thanks for stopping by! I'm off to deliver this one over to
Michele
WOW! What a beautiful card from those two pieces of paper, Michele! Wonderful depth and the stamped script and gray dots take this to the top! I believe this will be a winner!
ReplyDeleteYour fox is positively magnificent and very noble looking. You did a great job with the fussy cutting and have created fantastic dimension on this gorgeous scene.

WWCD! I would have purchased that paper just for this handsome fella too! Love the way you've used him, Michele. Marvelous card!
ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome looking fox. I am glad you found a way to use that paper xx
ReplyDeleteHe is quite handsome, and I love that background!
ReplyDeleteA beautifully created card with the SB papers, clever idea to fussy cut Mr. Fox and make him stand out!! I too bought these papers just because of the fox and was disappointed there weren't more 'like him' in the collection!!

ReplyDeleteWay to use that paper, Michele! Spellbinders better stock up. Gorgeous woodland scene with the 3D effect. Amazing fussy cutting and, yes, the cramping is a thing.
ReplyDeleteNow rhat is one handsome fox! I love the 3D look you've achieved against the embossed background!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Michele!! LOVE your beautiful fox and looks so amazing with the layers to give him depth. Marcia is a constant source of inspiration for me too! xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful fox, Michele, and what a wonderful job of fussy cutting him. Adding the script made all the difference in the background and popping him up made the scene 3D.
ReplyDeleteFabulous! This is really quite a work of art. Love the silver script, dimension and dots! You really are the fussy cutting queen of the universe!
