Hope this brightens your day...

Good Morning everyone

I wanted to make a card for my uncle whos having grueling treatment.  Id decided i wanted to do an exploding insert so started with deciding on a paper for that, I picked one with wild flowers with the idea of a meadow for my aall&create fox stamp.

6x5.5" white card base.  I first folded and added my insert (see pic below).  I then stamped the fox onto white cardstock twice, one i die cut with spellbinders labels 1 die and lightly inked the edges with salty ocean and evergreen distress inks.  On the 2nd fox stamped image i watercoloured the fox with wild honey & vintage photo distress inks and the flowers i added a colour with shaded lilac, i cut out the fox and the 2 smaller flowers and decoupaged onto my main image.  I matted this onto spellbinders fancy label 1 die cut from rose gold satin card. 

 I used off cuts from the paper i used for my insert and added down the left and right edge of the card front and mounted my topper with foam tape.  Computer printed sentiment mounted onto rose gold satin card and then the base with glue gel.  Glossy accents added to the foxes glasses to finish. 

and showing the insert.  I computer printed my sentiment and die cut into an oval and added a plain oval to the bottom to write my greeting on.  

Items Used:
aall&create stamps 'in the wild'
12x12 paper pad from the works 'botanical garden'
Spellbinders grand labels 1 & fancy grand labels 1
Stitched oval dies
Distress inks
Crafters companion rose gold satin card
