Foxes and Autumn Leaves Card

Although I've never seen a fox in the wild, I do admire their sleekness,  agile movements and coloration.  It makes me sad to think of how many foxes were hunted by hounds and horse riders over the decades.  With all of this in mind, I designed this card for the fall season.  The fox images were from a Hero Arts bundle set which includes the dies.  The leaves and words were from a Pink and Main stamp and die set.  Pink and Main were also the makers of the 6x6 paper pack from which I cut the background for this card.  Using Copic pens I colored the three loose leaves and group of leaves with the FALL letters.  I tried to match the colors of the 6x6 paper and used color pencils here and there to enhance the shades.  The F-A-L-L letters were cut from copper colored foil which are a bit too shiny at some angles.  I'll choose a low sheen foil next time. Foam adhesives were placed under the three loose leaves and foxes to give more dimension to the card.  This is one of my favorite autumn cards and it makes me smile as I think of foxes playing in crisp falling leaves. Ah, Happy Fall to All!!

Such a fun and colorful fall card! You did an amazing job of coloring your leaves for a nearly exact match to the paper.
