Foxy Friends Beaver

Hello my Stampin' friends. It is Stampin' Royalty challenge day. Today we have a color challenge.

Right away these colors gave me a "woodsy" feel. I knew woodgrain would have to be part of this project! And I have been playing with the new Foxy Friends stamp set and punch and thought it would be fun to make a punch art critter. I have seen a ton of different critters created with this punch and thought I'd give it a try.

I chose to do a beaver because it was just the right colors for this challenge.

I did add in some Chocolate Chip card stock for the body and head of the beaver. But the accents are Tip Top Taupe and the tail is Early Espresso.

To make the beaver, the trick it to ROUND everything. Punch the head, and round the ears. Punch the "muzzle" face piece and round the ends. Punch the tail and round the tip. The teeth I just cut from Whisper White card stock. The taupe piece on the beavers chest is just a 1/2" circle. To give the tail texture I free hand drew the lines using a #1 Project Life journaling pen. The little taupe pieces in his ears are punched from the Fox Builder Punch and are suppose to be the nose piece. I am having so much fun with the Foxy Friends stamp set and punch!
