Krafty Chicks Design Team card

Good morning friends, I have some exciting news to share with you today.  I am delighted and honoured to be joining the talented team over at Krafty Chicks challenge!  Today I am sharing my first card as a fully fledged chick in the hen house.  The themes are on a rotation so you always know what is coming up:

Week 1

Stamps (must have a stamp/digi image on card/project)

Week 2

Christmas (must have something with Christmas on it)

Week 3

CAS (Clean and Simple)

Week 4

All Occasions (Easter, St. Patrick's Day, Valentine's, etc.)

Week 5

When there are five Thursday's in the month,

Anything Goes

As we are on Week 1 this week the theme is 'Stamps' so we want to see some stamping on your card.  I went clean and simple again (I don't know what is happening to me lol) and here is my card:

A close up of the cute image:

I did a little ink blending on the inside to match the outside:

I began by stamping the cute critter and coloured him with a mix of Promarkers and Tri-blend markers and used the matching die to cut him out.  I also added some white highlights with a gel pen.  I cut a panel of white card 3 3/4" x 5" and ink blended some teal ink into the centre; for some added interest I also used a confetti stencil using the same ink but with a heavier hand.  I cut a mat panel from teal card and added the white panel with double sided tape.  I added my cute fox with foam squares to just slightly above the centre of the card and stamped the sentiment in black ink below him.  No embellishments at all but I think it looks cute just as it is.  For the inside I cut another white panel the same as the front and stamped a sentiment in the centre.  I added some light ink blending over and slightly extending out from the sentiment in the same teal ink.  Again matted the white panel onto a teal panel and adhered it to my card with double sided tape.  

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
