Hey everyone! Kari here bringing you another fall themed card featuring some of the newest release! For my first post on the blog, I wanted to feature some of the cute critters in the latest release from two stamp sets, Deerest Friends and Friendly Fox. I think these two images go so well together, and I wanted to do something a little different with them - I wanted to paper piece them!! Instead of coloring them in with Copics or another coloring method, I wanted to give them some fun patterns by paper piecing them.

It has been a while since I have done this technique, but I thought this adorable deer and cute fox called for it. I stamped both of my images onto a piece of cream colored card stock, and then I took some fall themed pattern papers that I felt would fit these critters the best, and stamped them again onto the pattern papers, and I fussy cut the images out. For the fox, I cut out his tail and his tummy so I could keep those part of the images bright once I applied them to my card stock. For the deer I did the same for the tail, and well as his face, and colored in the tail and his spots white with a white gel pen, and I colored his face in with a Copic marker.

For the rest of my 5x5 inch square card, I created panel from cream color card stock, and die cut several times some border dies to give it some interest with the different stitched elements. I also die cut another piece of fall themed pattern paper using a stitched square die, and stamped and embossed my sentiment from Deerest Friends in gold embossing powder.

To finish, I added some fun leaf wood veneer pieces, added some foam adhesive to my critters and added them to my card, and viola! I love the color scheme and all the elements that came together for the card using these adorable critters as the focal point!
