When deciding on a winter woodland theme, I chose my favorite animals to include.
I'd been wanting to use this
from Ann Clark.
To simplify the process, I decided to try three different animals with the same cutter.....
a skunk, a fox and a racoon.
Before starting this project, study the animals you'll be doing to get the discriminating details.
In my case, the fox has a wider head and tail, the racoon has a rounder head with medium-sized tail,
and the skunk has a smaller head with a curlier tail.
Outline and flood them all, and add their white bellies immediately.
Give the fox a white tail end and the skunk a horizontal stripe down the tail.
After 30 minutes to 1 hour, add paws, stripes on the raccoon tail with a heart-shaped white face,
a second layer for the skunk face, and a second layer of part of the fox face with a pointy nose and ears. (see photo above)
After another 30 minutes to 1 hour, add facial embellishments like the "mask" on the raccoon,
eyes, noses, and ear parts.....and even "toes" if you'd like. :)
I'm excited that one cutter could produce all three woodland animals!
