Hello! Today I have a card and video to share using the critters from the Hedgehog Hollow December Kit. I love these critters and so today I’m featuring FOUR of them as well as some fun techniques. I’m sharing ink smooshing, glitter, and gel techniques in todays card!

For the tutorial, watch my video below or in HD on YouTube:

To begin, I put four colors of Distress ink on my craft mat and spritzed it with water. Then I “smooshed” the bristol cardstock into the ink. I did this several times, drying the card with my heat tool in between each time.

Once I got it to a pretty stage, I allowed it to dry completely and then added some Metallix gel in Pearl White through the tree stencil. This gives a fun pearly shine.

I colored up the critters very simply and used some of the glitter in the box to add to their scarves and clothing. To do this, I simply added some liquid glue to the spots I wanted and sprinkled on the glitter. I allowed it to dry for a time before I shook off the excess glitter.

I cut out one of the toner sentiments from the kit, and added some NEW foil in the color Glass Slipper. I love this color! I ran it thru the Minc machine on the setting of 3.

Once the gel was dry, I added some green to the leaves using a Copic marker. Then I attached all the critters and sentiment to the card with foam squares.

Thanks for stopping by today!

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible.
