I’m so honored to be guest designing for Park Hopping My Happy Place this April! The inspirational board this month is filled with the cutest critters, making it hard to choose. After much thought, I’ve decided to create a card featuring a fox, and I really hope you love it as much as I do!
My card features the Caffeinated Critter Limited Edition Bundle from The Rabbit Hole Designs. This delightful bundle includes the most adorable critters craving their caffeine fix, complete with matching dies, the fun Sip, Sip, Ahh Stencil, and the versatile Blended Sentiments Sheets. It’s the perfect set for any coffee lover!
I stamped the image, colored it with alcohol markers, and cut it out using the matching die. For the background, I started by cutting a panel using Hello Blue Bird, You Make Me Smile Die and decided to use the negative space for a more creative effect. Then, I used the Sip, Sip, Ahh Stencil to add coffee beans and a coffee stain to the panel, setting it aside. The design felt a bit too clean for my taste, so I blended some brown ink along the edges to add a more distressed feel.
For the second panel, I blended brown and orange distress oxide inks to cover the entire surface, then added some black splatter for extra texture. Once both panels were ready, I adhered them together with liquid adhesive. From there, I adhered the panel to a white card base and used foam tape to pop the fox on top of the 'O' adding some dimension and a fun, playful element to the design.
Thank you so much for stopping by! Wishing you a wonderful day filled with creativity and joy!
