Its time for another Twofer Card Challenge.
Click on the Graphic to be taken to the challenge page.
A darling set of foxes along with a couple of mice recently joined my stash. I stamped out the foxes and several mice and colored them with copics, after die cutting them I set about making my scenes.
My first design, is my go-to style. Lots of open space with a main image and sentiment in close. I loved the idea of the lil mouse getting a lift up as a thank you card. I put soft inking behind the tree to ground the scene a bit. My common stamp is the fox with his tail to the left.
The next design is also in the CAS style, but is confined to the upper third of the card. My second scene is also quite simple, and the sentiment Hey, You! is one I often use when meeting up with friends...its quickly followed with a hug.
I am also entering this card at Double D Challenges - Featured (the fox from the mood board.)
I hope to see your critter cards in the Twofer Card Challenge gallery. Thanks for visiting.
These are super cute, Cat! I love how you show us that it's possible to come up with two completely different designs even with the same style of CAS card art. Your coloring of the foxes and mouse and the soft grounded background is perfect on your thank you card. So sweet of the fox to help the mouse! And I love the scene you made for your foxy BFFs about to hug! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteA great Twofer, I particularly like the tree one xx
ReplyDeleteYour foxes are so cute and I love how you've added the darling little mouse to the first card for a thank you. It's a fabulous CAS design which looks good and comes together quickly after the coloring. Both cards are simply adorable!
ReplyDeletesuch wonderful coloring on your darling critters! and love seeing your idea sketches!
ReplyDeleteTwo very sweet cards! I like that Hey You sentiment, that is not one I have used before!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards, Cat! Love your choice of critters, Jo x
ReplyDeleteOh Cat, these cards are both so darn cute. You are so good at creating two totally different designs with the same stamps. Your coloring, as always, is perfect and I just LOVE those sweet foxes (and the mouse too)!
ReplyDeleteThese are darling!! I love the layering of the critters with the tree on the first one. The light blending of the background is gorgeous!! The second design with the beautiful blended sky and adorable fox is just sensational. GREAT take on this challenge!!
ReplyDeleteAdorable cards, Cat!! Just love the fox giving mousy a lift up - so clever as a thank you card; love the shading too! Sweet foxy duo on card two - perfect nestled in the grass!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are equally adorable, and the "lift" is perfect! I commend you for starting with a sketch -- something I'm not great at...
ReplyDeleteHow cute! Love this fox image and your cards are both adorable! Thanks for joining the Double D, "Featured" Challenge.
ReplyDeleteBoth are terrific - that fox is a cutie!
ReplyDeleteWhat cute cards Cat! I love the little mouse getting a leg up into the tree by Foxy - so perfect for a thank you card. The 'Hey you' sentiment and the pair of foxes in the grass make a lovely note card too :)
ReplyDeleteI love those little buddies, and your thank you is just a darling way to show appreciation to a helpful friend! I think this critter theme was made for you, Cat - and MAN would I like to hear that Hey You for reals someday - quickly followed by a very big hug!

I adore your little foxes. They are so cute and fun to color up and bring to life. I love the white space and used it on my example card. Thanks for sharing it with us at Double D “Feature” Challenge.

Those little foxes are adorable, Cat, and so is that mouse! I love your two designs and how you walk us through them. The little mouse getting a lift is so sweet, and your "hey, you!" friendship card is even more meaningful knowing that you say that phrase. A fantastic twofer!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute images and fabulous designs...with tons of inspiration, thank you x.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant and creative CAS designs, Cat! That little fox is as cute as can be, and the mouse getting the boost is darling. Love the subtleness of the background; it really lets the focal point be front and center, and makes the elements truly pop. Sweet card! And your double-foxes!... Another wonderful CAS card! And a sweet sentiment, as well. I'll bet you've got some hugs on the inside of this card, too. These are both adorable. Sweet and thoughtful! Sending hugs. xo Bev
ReplyDeleteLove these sweet foxes!
ReplyDeleteI love them both! Just adorable! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Double D ‘FEATURED’ challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.

Your 'Critter' cards are absolutely darling, Cat! I love the idea of saying thank you for a lift up...so clever, and your ink blended background is perfect! Your 2nd card is also very sweet...Beautiful Copic coloring on both and I love your CAS designs! Time to find some critters in my stash :) Barb xx
ReplyDeleteThat little fox is just adorable, Cat! Love how you illustrated so tangibly the thank you in your first scene ... what better than giving a friend such a wonderful lift! Those cuties running across the grass to hug one another are so fun ... as is the sentiment ... I can imagine the inside is filled with those big hugs you mentioned! Fabulous CAS designs ... delicious scenes, both! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteSo adorable--love them both, Cat!
ReplyDeleteYou do CAS so well, and both of your Twofer cards prove it! I just love the little fox giving the mouse a lift - too cute! And two foxes are better than one on your 2nd card. Both designs are CAS and CUTE, and well done :)
