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. :)

I DO love Gerda Steiner stamps and still have several in my NBUS basket, along with far too many other stamps. The adorable factor on this is through the roof! Darling hedgie in his red scarf against the bright green background... fabulous, Loll!

And so much fun to look at, Loll! What a cute little guy with his cozy scarf! Love that background paper that looks like a sweater! What a delight, my friend!
Your shy, giggling hedgie is adorable against the designer paper, Loll. As always your watercoloring is spot on! This is such a fun card and sure to bring smiles to the recipient. Kudos to you for fussy cutting too.
