TIOT's 'Cold Outside' Mid Way

 Tuesday marks the mid way point of our latest challenge over at Try It On Tuesday - which is called 'Baby It's Cold Outside'.
If you're not a regular follower to the blog and missed the launch post, my card is in the post immediately below!


I have had a lot of pleasure this year making snowy scenes and this one is where I finally managed to do a fox that I am happy with! ( I seem to have been trying to do a good one for such a long time!) I did though make a teeny mistake on his bum... but then other half said it could be a shadow so I left it!

Chipped Sapphire and Broken China used on the sky, trees stamped in Rich Cocoa and then coloured with pencils.

Foxy was stamped in shades of brown with a touch of Elements Russet Orange.

I considered white heat embossing the tree branches but experimented with a white acrylic pen instead to try and achieve frosty bits rather than a block of white!
My usual helping of white spatters for a snow storm and done!

Thanks for looking and you have just a week to get your entry into our challenge at TIOT! x

Another brilliant wintry scene. You are getting very good at them. Your foxes bum looks fine too xx

Wow, that is a very impressive looking Fox you have here. his erm bum looks fine and dandy to me even with just one eye. Stye is gradually getting better. Saw the Pharmacist and he said they are self limiting and they don't give you creams or antibiotics for them now just to keep bathing it. Heard from someone else about using teabags as a remedy. Hugs Mrs A.

Love the snowy scene and the trees-beautiful fox although not what I said when one got our ducks-still can't fight Nature.

How beautiful! Is the fox a stamp? If so, who makes it? Great work.
