Fishtail Banners II Week: Fall Fox Card with Vanessa

Hello friends!  Vanessa here with an autumn card mixing the wonderful Fishtail Banner II dies, Woodsy Creatures, Harvest Happiness and Comfy Creatures.


Sunny Studio Stamps: Fall Fox Card by Vanessa (using Fishtail Banners II, Harvest Happiness, Woodsy Creatures & Comfy Creatures)

For my card I used one of the pretty sketches Mendi provided here. First, I die-cut the Fishtail banner from a panel of woodgrain patterned paper and a circle from its center. Then I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment using white embossing powder. Now I stamped the pumpkins, masking the first ones before stamping the next, and colored them with Copics. I backed the circle window of the panel with vellum to tone down my background and adhered the panel to the card. Then I stamped, paper-pieced and colored the fox, die-cut him with the matching dies and adhered him to the card.

I might repeat myself, but it is so fun to combine the various stamp sets to create new, cute creatures! Thank you for visiting today!

Halloween Cuties & Fishtail Banner Batty For You Card by Lindsey

Hi Lindsey here today sharing a Halloween card using Halloween Cuties and Fishtail Banners. The Fishtail Banners are fun to create with because you can make all kinds of shapes as well as add dot and stitched details to your card as well. Let's get started!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Halloween Cuties & Fishtail Banner II Batty For You card by Lindsey Sams.

I started with an orange A2 sized piece of orange cardstock for my card base. I used the dot part of the Fishtail Banner to add some dot detail to my background. Next I used the scallop banner to cut a diamond out of gray cardstock. This is what I did my stamping on. I stamped spider webs on each diamond corner. Then I stamped the sentiment, bats, and stars in the center. I colored all of my images with Copic markers. I added a black scalloped diamond behind the stamped panel to help it stand out. 

In order to bring the color scheme together, I created a scalloped black diamond with a scalloped purple diamond in the middle. I then cut the diamond in half and added half of it to the top of the card and half of it to the bottom. To finish the card, I added a few black pearls on the orange panel. That's it!
