Think I may need quite a few new baby cards this year so it's a good time to make a start on them and enter some of the many challenges featuring 'New Beginnings' at the moment. It's a really dark day here so my photo is not a very good one - so sorry.
How cute is that hedgie? I am totally besotted by Penny Black hedgehogs especially when you can buy a whole of host of them on one clear T for Transparent sheet. My image is coloured with Promarkers and I've used a new Nellie Snellen die to cut the spiky circles. I've added texture by using two different spotty embossing folders and and silver woven ribbon. The sentiment and silver teddies are all peel offs.
The layout for the card is from a fab sketch by Arlana at Sweet Sketch Wednesday. Every week I find such inspiration from her designs.
My card is also for the challenges at...
- Secret Crafter - tons of texture
- Penny Black - New Beginnings
- The Crafty Calender Challenge - New Beginnings
- The Rainbow Lady - It's all new to me (new stamps, new baby and new dies)
- Simon Says Stamp - New Beginnings
I'm ashamed to say that I haven't done the inner for this card yet - eeeeeeeek is that another New Year Resolution hitting the wall. The one about less craft spending didn't even last the day!
I'm sad to say I'm working long shifts over the next few days so crafting time will be more than limited it will be non existent so I may be able to blog hop, but won't be posting.
Hope everyone is having a fun weekend.
love and hugs
