Fox In The Snow

Hello lovely people!
How was your weekend? Good I hope...

I'm trying to get back into the swing of things and one thing I like to do regularly is make a card for the 


I love to make snow scenes, either with ink blending or using my distress oxide inks to paint with so this was a perfect challenge for me
Here's my card


My blog 'sister' Greta gifted me the lovely fox die and he too is painted with distress oxide inks


For the BG I used Hickory Smoke and Faded Jeans and for the fox it was a mix of Carved Pumpkin, with Walnut Stain and Hickory Smoke on his legs


I have to say, much as I love blue and green together I am really liking the grey here - It's kind of like that outside but not so pretty and no snow. As always I paint on ordinary CS but it is quite thick. A white gel pen for snow added the final touches. 

Thanks so much for popping in... Have a super day!

What a fantastic winter scene Ros and the fox die is just perfect, and you have given him the perfect foxy look too, and the grey and touch of blue in the background for the tracks through the snow and the bit of blue sky, as my Mum would have said 'just enough to patch a sailor's shirt'..lol. It has lots of atmosphere. x

A truly wonderful winter scene. Fabulous watercolouring - the grey background with the drifting snowflakes really makes me feel the cold. The brighter colour of the fox is a great contrast. Thanks so much for joining us at CAS Watercolour!
