Hang on, is that a fox?

It was love at first sight when I saw this WRS fox a few months ago and I scrambled to get him as soon as he was released.  I think he's so adorable clinging to his branch and he's lovely to colour too.

I was quite pleased with the shading on his fur so I decided to make him the centre of attention by keeping the finished card layout very clean.

The fabulous sentiment is a Simon Says Stamp die and I've used a stitched landscape border die to create a curved panel at the side for some colour.

But that's it.

Simples :0)

You have got the shading spot on here and have made the little fox look so beautifully fluffy...I just want to stroke that lovely tail!

It seems only right to make him the focus of the card after all that effort so your fab CAS design is just perfect :-)

Big hugs, Kat xx

This image is just too cute. I love fox images ever since I heard that song, "What does a fox say?" and I laugh ever time I see one.
