Hedgehog In The Desert

By on May 14, 2019 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I am a part of the Hedgehog Hollow YouTube Hop, where the theme is all things Hedgehogs! There are prizes to be won, so be sure to visit us at the hop to enter to win (details at the end of this post).

Today I made some fun Hedgehogs In the Desert cards. Since I’m from Arizona, it was fun for me to think of what a hedgehog would be like here in the desert. I image he would fall right in love with a cactus!

So in my video, I show you how to make an easy Desert Sunset background, and put together this cutie card!

Watch my video below, and be sure to head over to YouTube to like, comment, and see where to go next for the hop!

I also made a card with the same idea, but changed up the background colors.

It’s a fun little scene, and a fun card to put together!

Be sure to head over to the hop HERE…and see where to hop next! Good luck at winning one of the awesome prizes! (You have until May 21, 2019 to enter)

One card two ways…

Hello! Today I have a fun project with the new September Hedgehog Hollow box! I was inspired to create a card using the oval background stamp and then STEP IT UP a bit!


So I have two cards…the first one is the basic card using the background, then adding the floral stamp to the center of the oval.

I used the oval stamp FIRST, in Distress Oxide ink in Faded Jeans color. Then I added the floral spray to the middle of that stamp and used Memento Tuxedo Black. I Copic colored those flowers and then added the sentiment, also from this September box. To finish it off, I used Nuvo Drops in white across the card.


After I made this card, I wanted to make it again, but this time adding some EXTRA SHINE! So after I stamped the background, I added some glitter embossing powder to the top. Then I stamped the floral image in the center and colored it.


After it was colored, I put it back in my MISTI and stamped over the lines with Versamark ink and added SILVER EMBOSSING POWDER.

I hope you can see some of that glitter in the background and the silver embossing powder around the edges.


To see the process better, watch my video here or on YouTube:




 


Which card do you like better? Here’s another view that shows a bit more of the sparkle:

I really do think it’s stunning in real life!

Balloon Over London with Hedgehog Hollow
By  on August 16, 2018  in Paper Crafting   

	

	    
Hello! Today I have a card to share that I like to call “Balloon Over London” featuring the August Hedgehog Hollow subscription box.


I just couldn’t resist the idea of this little hedgehog floating over the London skyline at dusk. He’s on an ACTION WOBBLE (that came in the subscription box), so he moves and wobbles and it’s so cute!

I used Distress Oxides to ink up the background in the colors Fossilized Amber, Broken China, Faded Jeans, and Seedless Preserves.


I colored the images using the Marvy Watercolor pencils that came in the box, and then added detail and dots with markers and a white gel pen. Here’s a close up:

Isn’t he cute?! I love this month’s box.


If you haven’t heard…there’s a sneak peek to next month’s Hedgehog Hollow box and it’s going to be featuring Catherine Pooler!! (So exciting!) If you haven’t tried Catherine Pooler inks, you are in for a treat…because one of her NEW ink colors is going to be included in the box! We will also be seeing some beautiful floral stamps and I just can’t wait to ink those up.
