A prickly pressie

Just a wee quickie card from me tonight.  I've been busy in work all week, but the lovely colour theme from Addicted to Stamps got me out to the kitchen to get crafty :)

I nearly managed to make this without adding some doodling, but at the last minute I gave in ;)
Image from Penny Black.  Coloured with watercolour pencils.  Sparkle added to the ribbons on the little parcels.

My sentiment is heat embossed - I wish someone would invent a white ink that stamped bright white instead of the faff of getting out my heat gun. Or maybe there's an ink already out there that I need to add to my crafty shopping list??

Lynne, this one made me smile! Love it! Great job, dear friend! I'm not sure about the white inks....I'll be curious to see what people suggest!

It's a superb CAS creation Lynne and perfect image for our theme, many thanks for joining us at Penny Black and More challenge.

I have a couple of white ink pads, a Brilliance and Color Box but have to say they only give reasonable results on Kraft card.

Fab card! I love the color combo - two of my favorite colors. Makes me want to go down to my craft room and play...but it's late, and my craft room is a mess. Clean up day tomorrow!

How fun is this image! Perfect take on Tracey's card!

Lindsey said...

Be like me — just leave your heat gun out and emboss all the things! :P I have too many different white inks that were touted as *the one*... nope. Love your sweet hedgehog and clean design!

Love your interpretation of Tracey's Muse card and the switch from a hippo to a hedgehog. Very cute.
