Christmas critter on kraft

While I was having my Penny Black stamps and coloured pencils out, I decided to create another card using another sweet hedgehog from the Holly day critters set.


I stamped the image and sentiment in Memento Rich cocoa onto a previously die cut stitched rectangle (SSS) panel and coloured it in using my SN pencils and odourless mineral spirits. I used my NBUS Gingham background stamp (SSS) to add a little interest to my kraft card base by stamping the pattern using Vintage photo DOI on the lower part of my card. I blended a little Tumbled glass DI (still on my blending foam) at the top of my coloured panel but found it was still standing out too much against the kraft base, So I also blended a little Antiquie linen DI all around my panel. I wrapped some twine around my card base before foam mounting my panel. To finish off, I rounded the bottom corners using my 1/4 inch corner chomper.

Challenges:

Jingle Belles - Not a creature was stirring (animals/monsters)


Allsorts - #439 Christmas creatures

SSS Wednesday - Anything goes

Penny Black - Holiday head start


HLS - October Christmas challenge

  5. Fun Christmas critters Marianne, can't beat a PB, but there again I may be a tad biased. But they do work very well with the Kraft. Many thanks for joining us at Allsorts and Penny Black and More challenges, lovely to see you at both.

  10. Oh, and another lovely hedgehog! I love the kraft card stock and how you worked on the white panel to make it sit more smoothly on the kraft card base. The twine, then, is the perfect touch!
