Hedgie Christmas

Hi everyone.  One more Christmas Stocking card for the CAS Christmas challenge before it closes in three days.

I had this sweet Penny Black image that I hadn't inked up yet.  Always great to use something from my NBUS box!

I stamped the image in Black Memento and then clear heat embossed.  Fussy-cut before watercolouring this time.  Used a few distress inks to colour the image and then popped it over top of a wordy Christmas patterned paper.  A fun sentiment was stamped in the same green ink as I used on the stocking.  Added clear wink of stella on the fur cuff of the stocking, but it doesn't show in the photo.

Here's a close-up ...
The sentiment says it all ... I smiled the whole time I was making this! :)






Stamps:  merry delight (Penny Black); christmas sentiments (Penny Black)
Paper:  Patterned paper (unknow); White (Neenah 110 lb.)
Ink:  Black (Memento); Distress Inks:  Barn Door, Aged Mahogany, Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Brushed Corduroy, Gathered Twigs, Walnut Stain, Worn Lipstick (Tim Holtz); Zig flesh marker
Accessories & Tools: Clear embossing powder, heat tool, water brush, white gel pen, white paint pen, clear wink of stella

You can't go wrong with a hedgehog. He is adorable nestled in the stocking. Cute pattern paper as a mat and that is a fun sentiment. I hope you're still having fun, I didn't hear you guys last night!
