Hello - Prickles

Hi peeps,

I love hedgehogs so I had to share with you this little cutie...

He was this months freebie over at From The Heart Stamps, he is called Prickles Says Hello. If you play along you´ll receive next months image for free. If you haven´t played along yet you can always buy the Free Stamp of the Month, play along and then get next months image.

Isn´t he gorgeous?

I have coloured with ProMarkers.

I saw someone that had made a card that had cut out a circle on the front of the card and then stuck the image inside the card. I liked that idea a lot so I had to try it myself. Unfortunately I can´t remember who it was, but a big thank you for the inspiration!

 

I used this sketch and a cute flowery paper from Jillibean Soup. I cut out a banner and wrote "Friend" on top of it.

I used wood embellishment. Think it turned out really nice. Get Creative has a challenge there you have to add flowers. So I got both wooden flowers and flower pattern paper. Last a few pearls.

This is what the inside of the card look like:

Here is my card. I have coloured with ProMarkers.

I kept it simple since the image is so sweet by it self. I used a brown ink to distress the edges a bit. I also used the shabby white embossing powder from one of the frantage kits you can get at the shop.

Yummy Watermelon

Hi it´s time for a new Delightful Thursday

Digital Delights

I got to play with this summer sweetie

Watermelon Samantha

I also used a sentiment from a set called



Spring Sentiment Set

This is what I made:

I have coloured with ProMarkers. 

I used a paper with yellow stripes from a Swedish manufacturer called Reprint. I also used some left over papers from my stash, think the green one is an old Scenic Route one.  

I used a die from QuicKutz to make the strawberries and cut out the ants. The melons are DIY. I started with a red circle and cut it in half. Than glue it on a white paper and cut around. After that I glued it on a green piece of paper and cut around. Last I used the seeds from the strawberry die to make some watermelon seeds.

I used a black pen to make some stitches and dots around the edges.

All DD Stamps used: Watermelon Samantha and Spring Sentiment Set

CS & Papers: White, red and green cardstock

Reprint
Scenic Route

Markers: ProMarkers

Embellishments: dies (stawberry, ant and scalloped circle)
