Halloween is nearly here! Only six more days as I write this! I am super
excited to see the creativity around my neighborhood and all the fun
costumes the kids will be wearing!
Something tells me this year we will see a fox out trick or treating
thanks to the song and video. :) Speaking of the fox....What does the
fox say? Sorry I couldn't help myself LOL Sammie's ADORABLE
Ryan as a fox from
M4M is
saying "TRICK or TREAT!"

Keep reading if you would like to learn how I colored and gave the fox
texture. But first, let's talk paper! We have to talk about paper! For
the base of the card I did something different. I used SU Kraft paper
and ran it through my printer to get some vintage print on it. The
layers were made with Echo Parks Fall Mini Kit, a NEW PRODUCT THAT'S
ARRIVED AT THE
STUDIO! Oh MY the paper is yummy! The print is so rich
you can see the texture; it looks like real wood! I even used the
falling leaves stickers that came with the kit! The tree I cut using my
cameo as well as the sentiment. The pumpkins were cottage cuts I run
through my trusty Big Shot.

Now the fun part: how to create the furry texture on the fox. I wanted
texture on my fox but not all over; that would have been overkill. It's
not difficult, but it does take time and patience. I first used a light
earth color for the base and then I added four different earth colors
and just scribbled the colors in. I made long, short, wavy and tight
scribbles. Keep scribbling but take care not to overdo it with one color
as these layers will start to create depth in your image. You want to be able to see shadows and highlights.
