Toonces

This week on the Create blog challenge, Paige's challenge was to use foxes on cards. Cool idea for a challenge! So I thought about it and had a card planned out in my head: my Amuse Arctic Fox stamp in a little forest scene.

I got ready to make the card, and while I was looking through my papers, I ran across the new Echo Park Happy Days stickers. Instead of the forest, I decided to have the fox driving the card. I figured I would probably be the only person submitting a card with a fox driving a card (LOL!). Here's what I came up with:

I stamped the Amuse fox, colored him with Copics, and then trimmed him to fit in the card. Is he not just the cutest fox ever? All of the papers and the sentiment are from Echo Park (the sentiment is digital Echo Park). Here's a close-up of the fox:



My husband saw the card and he said "It's Toonces!" Does anyone else remember the old Saturday Night Live episodes with the driving cat, Toonces? I had to explain it was a fox and not a cat, but I think he's still equally cute.

Thanks for looking! Have a great day!

    I'm pretty sure we're aging ourselves by admitting we remember Toonces ;) lol
    This is adorable - I love the concept, and the sentiment just makes it perfect!

    Don't think I've ever seen a fox driving a card before... but I can't see why not! It's fab, I'm loving all those awesome colours and patterns (I'm yet to 'cut into' my Happy Days paper pad)!

    Ok, just because this card is SO DANG ADORABLE will I forgive you for forcing me to have "he drives around....all over the town..." in my head for the next three days! Love the fact that of course the fox would be driving with his head out of the window. :) Wonderful card!
