Happy Monday, peeps! Happy Veteran's Day! I am waaaaaay late today, too much going on this past weekend and stamp clubs today! I did put together a card yesterday, only because I already had this cute little image stamped and colored, so I grabbed a scrap of striped paper, diecut my image and threw it all together to make a card:
The Sketch Saturday sketch worked great for me:
My little foxes (Unity A Foxy Christmas) were stamped in Cajun Craze, and I used some Arteza watercolor brushes to add some color and depth to the greenery behind them. There's actually a little bird on the log too; I almost missed it!! Hopefully you can see it there! The paper I used is SU's Shimmery White. I still need a little practice using those brushes, but it's fun to experiment! I stamped a retired Papertrey sentiment (Signature Christmas) underneath in Mossy Meadow; there's a cute sentiment that comes with the Unity set, which I forgot about, otherwise I would have used it! I added some sequins from my stash and it was done! Easy! I think next time I use this image, I'll add some darker eyes....they look a little vacant to me, LOL!
We are flying our flag today to honor our veterans...it's easy to remember that John was in the Navy, but I often forget that my dad was also in the army. He didn't see any action, but I wish I could have thanked him for his service, but he never talked about it ever!!
Enjoy your day and be blessed!

Just as sweet a little later, LeAnne … those fox are just adorable, and I love the one on the left who seems a bit coy!
My Dad always said he was too young for the 1st, and too old for the 2nd - thank Goodness! But I do get to celebrate everything about him, because it is his birthday today!! and with 9 kids? he definitely served!! xx

Awww, they're so sweet! The striped paper was a good choice too, this is charming. What a wonderful picture of your dad!
Love your quick card - bravo for still squeezing one in amongst all the activity! A great photo of your Dad too.
