Magic Fox

I made another Magic Card. I was trying for masculine here, for my son. I used the stamp set, The Wilderness Awaits, some retired DSP, the Hello You Thinlits and colored the fox with Copic markers.

I've been wanting to make a Magic Card ever since my friend Kathy showed them to me. There is a video tutorial on a previous post: http://scmagnolia.blogspot.com/2016/06/magic-card-tutorial_21.html
I made using the You've Got This stamp set. The paper is Affectionately Yours designer series paper. I love this card so much, I'm going to make another one, only a masculine version for my son.
