Narwhal Alert!

 Hi! Hope you're ok and wahooo.. it's December.
I recently got this set, 'Critters in the Arctic'

 

Isn't it great? 

I have to admit not knowing what a Narwhal was- even though I've seen Elf. 

I immediately thought of Santa's sleigh- and imagined the Narwhals pulling it over the Arctic. 

Yes, my brain goes strange places.

See the little hat? Thought I'd give them each some warmth and a little personality. By angling the hat and placing it in different directions, you can make them look a little different.

I added a piece of red thread through their bodies (don't worry- I found a fleshy bit that didn't hurt). I gathered them together and attached them to the inside of the front cover. I've created the ocean with some vellum.
The sentiment is using the Milo's font stamp set

I just created the sky using some distress inks and made some little 'sleigh pieces' out of Snow Days paper

I have so many ideas for this set- you might find it popping up on some other Tuesdays.

See you next week,

Feeling foxy?

I was having a little browse around blogland for inspiration for a card to make today and I found this challenge over at Moxie Fab world that gave me a chance to ink up one of the gorgeous new Lawn Fawn stamps http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2014/08/foxes-challenge-foxy-foxes-challenge.html

I used the adorable Joy to the Woods set and stamped and fussy cut the tree and fox which were watercoloured with distress markers.  For the background I used a sheet of paper from Snow Days and created a range of snowy hills using the hillside border die which is going to be a die I turn to so often as it's very useful!  The finishing touch is the little footprints coming over the hill so you can see where the fox has been.

See you tomorrow with something totally different!
