60th Birthday card

I was asked to make a 60th birthday card featuring a hedgehog .... so after a root round my stash I came across this little Penny Black hedgie.

And of course I was busting to have a go with my new Lawn Fawn cloud dies ;)  I like how the little hedgehog is looking up towards the sentiment.

Coloured with watercolour pencils and some Wink of Stella clear glitter added to the welly boot and to the snail's shell.  I also added some clear gloss to the snail and to the soles of the boot.
Martha Stewart butterfly punch.
I also chalked some clouds in the BG, but it's not really showing up in my pic.

I think Hilary will love her birthday card! That cloud die provided the perfect place for your sentiment. I've been using my Wink of Stella pen, too, and loving it!
