Nordic Waving Fox Birthday Tag
by Susanbcards

My birthday card stash is looking low, so I’m making a bunch of cards. I have some great nieces, so a sweet birthday card is on the menu today. This little fox is darling, isn’t it? She’s simple to put together. I used some cream colored cardstock for her face and body, a bit of brown ink to add some shading. Her dress is white and blue, the perfect compliment to the pink tag and background.

The background is watercolor paper, dipped into Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink, misted with water to move it around the paper. I dried it and then dipped it again. The splatters are gold watercolor, dipped and flicked off of a small paintbrush. After it was completely dry, I adhered it to an A2 sized card.

I used the Scalloped Framer Tags dieset to cut the sweet tag. There’s several dies for regular tags and for scalloped tags, they can be used separately or layered together as I have done here. I cut one from pink cardstock, and one from white. The flower hole reinforcer is included in the set. I popped up the fox onto the tag with fun foam, attached a ribbon and adhered it to the background. Super simple to make and cute enough for my great niece.

I hope I’ve inspired you to get your stash of birthday cards ready, you have a bit of time before going full force on Christmas/Holiday cards!
