What's New in Your Neck of the Woods?

That's one of the sentiments included in this cute new set called Critter Country from Kristin over at Artful INKables. Just look at this sweet little fox!
I made this card for the weekly Sketch Challenge at Split Coast - here is the sketch

I just love how this card came out (if I do say so myself !) using this fun designer paper by Cosmo Cricket called Mr. Campy. My picture is a little dark - the problem of always having to stamp after work when it's dark out and trying to use OTT lights! It looks better IRL - so please excuse - someday I'll learn how to take better pictures - when I have a minute!!You can see all 4 of Kristin's new stamp sets here.

I stamped the grasses randomly on the largest panel with Close to Cocoa Ink. Then I stamped it twice on the front panel and colored them in a little. I stamped my cute little red fox, colored him with Prismacolor markers, cut him out and layered him over the grasses.

The sentiment is cut with the key tag punch from SU and sponged. I punched the leaves and added them to the sides - then mounted the sentiment with foam dimensionals - then I just added 3 dew drops!

Both Jenn and Kristin made cards today using this same set - so be sure to go over to their blogs and check them out! Tell them Julia sent you!
