Arctic Fox Winter Tag Card by Lynn Dionne

Happy Wednesday Ai Fans!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today we will be using the brand-new Ai Foxes Set (5951) to create a fun little tag card! This wonderful set includes several foxes, some branches and twigs, two little birds, a tree stump, and two Fall greetings!

I thought it would be fun to put a little different twist on these fox by creating some arctic foxes which are also known as Polar Fox, Snow Fox and White Fox. These are the most beautiful white colored fox, and I thought it would be a great way to create a soft, peaceful winter scene for today's tag card!

Let's stamp the images and do some really easy coloring on the sleeping foxes using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Lt Gray. We will stamp the images using a gray ink pad, to again, keep the scene very muted.

We will die cut three tags from the Ai Tag Stitched Dies (5132), and we will create a pretty background on the first one and the card base with the other two tags. I will show you exactly how to assemble this tag card in today's video!

To set the scene, let stencil the birch tree background using a two-part stencil from the Lawn Fawn collection. This stencil set will allow us to create the sky using the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks in Speckled Egg, Stormy Sky and Chipped Sapphire.

Using the second part of the stencil to add the trees, let's add some Distress Oxide Inks in Lost Shadow and Hickory Smoke. To add some more interest to the trees let's spatter with the gray and add some Black Soot as well.

We will add some snow to this background using some bleed proof white ink. But to take it to the next level we will using the Lawn Fawn Snowy Background Stencil and some Tim Holtz "Snowfall" Grit Paste to add some dimensional snowflakes with a glittery look!

For the sentiments, we will be using the Ai Animal Nativity Set (5350). We will stamp them onto some gray cardstock and emboss with white ink and white embossing powder. The dies for the sentiments are from the Ai Decorative Journal Page 2 Set (5809) and the Ai Journal Template Set (5543).

We can die cut a few snowy borders, tear them, add a bit of ink and sparkle to them as well.

Let's assemble the card, which again I will show you in today's video, and add some blue velvet ribbon, white twine, a jingle bell, and some pretty sparkly gems!

Thank you so much for joining me today!  Have a fun and crafty day!!!
