***Please scroll down for my CAS-ual Fridays Challenge post!***
And it all features a beautiful, red, foxy friend! I started by coloring the vixen (Lawn Fawn's Winter Fox) with some red and red/orange markers and used the "beyond the border" technique to frame her out.
I distressed the focal panel with some hand made spritz and then mounted it to a long strip of red vintage colored patterned paper. The sentiment (from Making Frosty Friends) was treated with the same distress technique, and mounted to the panel and wrapped with twine. The heart from My Silly Valentine completes the sentiment. I also mounted I scored the paper and die cut one end to match the shape of the focal frame. A simple staple holds the hot chocolate packets and that was dressed up with some twine too.
See, I told you it was easy to make a special gift! Personalization is so simple too, if you'd like to go that route. This little giftie would make a great stocking stuffer as well.
The hop runs from Friday, December 9th to Sunday, December 11th. Comment on all of the blogs for a chance to win prizes from Lawn Fawn, Mold Muse and Whisker Graphics!
