This card was a save. :) I originally stamped and watercoloured the hedgie on mixed media paper and inlaid it into the snowflake frame. The last step was to add the sentiment once everything was in place. Of course, it blurred. Uggghhhh! I ended up cutting out the hedgie and paper piecing it onto a new card front with just a swipe of blue for the snow and then adding the snowflake frame over top. This time I used my memento black ink to stamp the sentiment ... perfect! :)

I love the sparkly bits on the hedgie's hat ... glitter snow embossing paste! :) I used my white Posca pen to add details to the scarf, hat, and presents.

Great save and the frame sure is pretty Loll and shows off the cute little hedgie to perfection x. Adorable card x.
That is a great save and he is so cute. Congratulations on your win, that is a wonderful frame die.
I am so glad you saved that hedgie, he is so sweet. I really share your frustration when things go wrong at the last minute. Great save though, the recipient will never know xx
Well isn't he a cute little gift giver? Such a sweet image, Loll, and the snowflakes frame his wonderfully.
This is a darling Christmas card Loll! I am so in love with the snowflake frame. You sweet little hedgy fits in there so perfectly-he looks so cue in his sparkly hat and polka dotted scarf. Love that he is taking good care of his Christmas gifts too. So stinking cute! Glad you were able to salvage your little hedgy. I hate when I mess up a card with the sentiment as I finish it up...but it happens. You salvaged it and that is all that matters! Hugs, Brenda

What a great save, Loll! I can't tell this cute little hedge was cut and paper-pieced on the new card front!! The snowflake frame is so pretty and delicate. The white posca pen detail adds so much interest to the image!
