Snow Angels...or Snow Fox Angel ?

Hello everyone ! Now that Halloween as gone, time to focus on my favorite time of the year to make cards...and oh well...my favorite time of the year for a lot of things !

My inspiration came an artist that I love, Sandy Allnock. She made a video on coloring snow angels and I knew right away that I needed to apply that to some of the gorgeous characters from Elizabeth Craft Designs collection of dies. 

If you want to take a look at the video from Sandy, hop on over her YouTube channel here.

Here is my tutorial to make those 2 cards.

Step 1: Card base

• Both cards are the same size. They are a 6 X 6 inches cards. The little girl cards as a blue-green 5 7/8 inches square and a red 5 3/4 inches square. The fox as a dark blue  5 7/8 inches and a red 5 3/4 inches square.
• Adhere all the layers on the card base for each card.

Step 2: Background

• Cut a 5 1/2 square in some White Soft Finish Cardstock for each card.
• Following Sandy Allnock instructions in her video, draw the tree in the corner of each card, using Copic Markers.

Step 3: Little Girl Angel

• For the little girl, die cut the coat, pants and hat from the Santa Claus die set #1567.
• Die cut the scarf from the Penguin die set #1566.
• Die cut the pony tail from the Princess set #1790.
• Die cut the face and the bangs from the Fairy 2 die set # 1793.

Everything is die cut from some White Soft Finish Cardstock doubled with some Clear Double Sided Adhesive.

• Using some markers, color all the part of the girl and assemble.
• Add some googly eyes and some small pearls to the coat to make buttons.

Step 4 Little Fox Angel

Also from some White Soft Finish Cardstock doubled with some Clear Double Sided Adhesive:

• Die cut the fox from the Fox die set #1682, except for the body.
• Using the Penguin die set #1566, die cut the body and the scarf.
• Using some markers, color all the part of the fox and assemble.
• Draw the mouth and the eyes of the fox, using a fine point black marker and make a white dot in the center of each eyes.

Step 5: Back to the background

• On the back of the little girl and the fox, adhere a non-permanent tape and set on there card where you want them to lie.
• Using Sandy's technique again, drawn the lines in the snow around the the characters to make them look as if they were making snow angels.
• Once you are happy with how it looks, remove the tape on the back of the characters and adhere a mini action spring (Action Wobbles) on the back and than on to the card.

And we are done !!!
