I really love the sketch that they've offered at the Paper Craft Crew Challenges:
And thought the sketch would work beautifully with the colours at the Color Throwdown Challenges:
The adorable little hedgehog building a snow-hedgehog is one of my favourite images and I knew it would be great for this card. Looking through my Designer Paper, I found the right colours in the Sweater Weather paper and so my card was on a roll.
I began with a base of Pacific Point, added a narrow layer of Basic Black to form a thin frame for my next layer which was Whisper White. I spritzed the Whisper White using my Pacific Point Stampin' Marker and the retired Colour Spritzer Tool.
For my small rectangles, I made one with a base of Basic Black and a layer of the Designer Paper. The top small rectangle, however, I cut from Basic Black using my On Film framelit and stamped a small piece of Whisper White to fit the centre. The stamp, of course, was of the little hedgehog. For the image I was able to add the yellow and orange in the scarves and carrot nose, some more black to the "coat" and a bit of Pacific Point to the snow.
I stamped my sentiment using the Project Life Holiday Cheer stamp set with Pacific Point ink and cut that out using my 1" circle punch. I cut a backing of Pacific Point with my 1 1/4" circle punch. The final touches were a piece of the 3/4" Basic Black Chevron Ribbon and a banner of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper.

ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Jan. I love the variety of sketches the PCC offers.
DeleteAbsolutely adorable card and I just love the hedgehogs (kick myself for selling this stamp set and not keeping it!). The colors are beautiful. Thanks for playing along with the Paper Craft Crew. (Don't forget to vote TODAY for your top 3 choices.)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pam. It's definitely a stamp set I'm keeping. Someone told me that the "Best of..." hedgehogs are smaller than the original one released, but I find this is just the right size. Glad to have bought it.
