This was inspired by my nephew who loves the fox video and plays it constantly..I have danced and sung to this a lot!! If you don't know what I'm talking about check YouTube and type in the title of my piece. I used distress inks on the bg and then stenciled over it with distress stains using a leaf pattern. My frame was made using tiny puzzle pieces I got at a craft show who knows when! I had to paint those with acrylic paint to match my color scheme. That was a bit tricky..had to use a toothpick to sort of hold them in place! Haha....the things we do for our "art". Come play along in the MIX challenge....would love to see what sort of frame you come up with!

Oh gosh, I can imagine it must have been tricky to paint all those! I think I'd have gone for spraying but that would seriously have limited my range of colours. They make a cute frame - off now to see what the fox does say.

What fun inspiration you had, Polly, and using a toothpick makes me grin. We do what we have to do to create our art. This is soooooooooo cute.

I love your playful card! Such fun colors for your puzzle pieces and so clever too! I can't believe how you had to paint them holding the pieces with a tooth pick! The end result is darling!

Wonderful creativity on this one, Polly. How fun to know your nephew's video gave you your inspiration. Very colorful and creative way to use your puzzle pieces you got from who knows where.
