Fusion Pattern Paper Stamping Foxes

My local craft club has challenged us to use all the bits we've collected from each other, but not put on a card. I was admiring a friend's gorgeous use of corner stickers, when she handed me a sheet and told me to use them on a card and bring it next time.  This is my first time using stickers and I'm quite happy with the result (Not a patch on my crafty friend's card though!)

I've played along with the Fusion Challenge combining the sketch with the pinks, greys, silver and distressed look. The layer of vellum puts me in mind of the draped cloth in the picture as well. I usually use the stamp without the foxes, so when I was informed that the birthday girl is a big fan of foxes, I was delighted to colour up these furry little creatures for Stamping Senations October Challenge.
I've used two different patterned papers for the Lawnscaping Challenge and all clear stamps to join in with Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.

First...

...Post: Hello World!
...Competition entry: Going Buggy Challenge #1, Young Crafters Unite Challenge #6, Papertake Weekly Happy Highlights.
...Inking of Gorjuss Little Foxes Stamp.

I enjoy reading Enfys' Blog- Going Buggy, so when I saw she was running her first challenge, it spurred me on to some firsts as well. Having a focus really helps when you're starting out, so now I had my main colours: Red, White & Grey (or Black).

Where to next? Young Crafters Unite have a great sketch challenge running this month and I saw my card begin to take shape. Here's the sketch:

I turned the sketch 45° to fit on a spring fold card.

Then I saw the challenge at Papertake Weekly and I knew exactly which image my Glossy Accents & my Stickles were calling out for.

I've layered her pocket and flowers for depth, added glossy accents to her boots and flowers for shine and finally red stickles on the pocket heart for some glitter.

Supplies

Stamps: Gorjuss Little Foxes, Lawn Fawn Sally's ABCs, Heartfelt Creations Posy Patch

Dies & Punches: Spellbinders Posy Patch, Scallop punch

Paper: Doodlebug Design Inc, red card from stash

This is the first time I've coloured dark hair and the first outing for some of my Promarker colours. So hopefully this is the first of many more posts.
