Hi everyone. Don't you just love Gerda Steiner images?? This one is Coffee Hedgehog. I HAD to buy this cute hedgie all bundled up for winter. He is watercoloured with distress inks and then fussy-cut.
The background starts with a debossed frame (Fine Frames Square Die Set - Altenew), using the frame through my embossing machine with a silicone mat. Then some pretty patterned paper with the hedgie popped up on top for added dimension. Sentiment (Merry Up - Penny Black) is stamped in red to match his scarf (dotted with an acrylic paint pen) and finally, red chalk for his cheeks. :)
