Funky Fossil May Release - Introducing Forest Friends & Quirky Trees

Well here we go then with the next introduction to Funky Fossil's May release.

And yes it's a new set of animals and forest flora bits from the amazingly talented Donna! I know you've been looking forward to them. And a set of quirky tree dies too.

  

I'm right aren't I? They've gone right to the top of your wish list! And I'm still swooning over the new paper pad and have used another of the papers as a background for this first card.

Supplies:

Stamps: Funky Fossil, Forest Friends

Paper: Mixed Media Kaleidescope

Ink: Versafine Clair, nocturne

As this set is called Forest Friends I thought it might be an idea to set the scene with the Birch Forest stencil. I went for a chilly very early Winter's morning vibe and thought the fox needed to be in camouflage as he make his way back home to his den.

Supplies:

Stamps: Funky Fossil, Forest Friends

Stencil: Funky Fossil, Birch Forest

Ink: Versafine Clair, nocturne; Ranger distress oxide, kitsch flamingo, cracked pistachio, tumbled glass

Dies: Lawn Fawn, stitched rectangle frames; MFT Die-namics, double stitched rectangles

My next card to share today has a bit of a Scandi feel to it and I made use of many the smaller stamps included in the set as well as a few from previous releases too.

The fox is wearing his blues today - well a fox has to have an extensive wardrobe you know!

Supplies:

Stamps: Funky Fossil, Forest Friends; small stamps from Bee Geometric & Blooming Wreath

Inks: SU, night of navy, peekaboo peach, melon mambo, emerald envy, marina mist, crushed curry

I really couldn't go without showing you some of the tree die in action, so here's a couple of cards using them.

More of that paper and Donna's gorgeous rabbit plus some beautiful sparkly card from Papermill Direct.
