Mini Class Samples

Hi all! Happy Friday! Hooray for Friday! Friday! Friday! Friday! {happy dancing in the lounge room}. The weeks seem to be sliding away so quickly! Already it's only 6 months til Christmas! What the?! When did that happen??
Felicity is hosting a mini Stampin Up party tomorrow so I've made a few sample cards with the Fox & Friends and Little Angel sets from the current Autumn/Winter mini catalogue. We're only going to make one card at the party then have some free-play cos all the ladies will be bringing their children so concentrating on making a structured card is a bit of hard work with so much distraction! I love the little animals in this set, they're all so so so cute! You know I love owls, so clearly can't get enough of them, but the little monkey and the fox are my faves from this set :) They're great for little boy cards, which are so hard to find cool stamps for. Plus the sentiments from Little Angel set co-ordinate perfectly too. The Pumpkin Pie/Choc Chip and Baja Breeze combo of the first card would be great for little boys while the Pretty In Pink, Pale Plum and Certainly Celery combo makes such a sweet baby girl card!
On this third card, Kraft, Choc Chip, Baja Breeze and Certainly Celery combo, I hand cut the tree and drew some growth rings on with my SU Chocolate Chip marker so the fox & owl would have something to hang around on this card. I inked the fox in Pumpkin Pie then used my Chocolate Chip marker again to colour the tips of his ears and tail before stamping him on white. I think it turned out fantastically! I tried it again with the owl and used my real red marker to do a swish across the Perfect Plum ink on the wing and the ear tips., also successful :) Look at that cute little face on the fox, he's so sweet!!
Hope you have a wonderful Friday! Hmm... I think I might go do some baking before work!
