A new theme has just started at Allsorts challenge, it's Lynn's turn to host and she picked the theme of "Friends". We have another fun prize to give away this week, so please do join us for a chance to win.
I am trying a new way to photograph my cards, seems like I get better/ brighter photos when the pictures are taken trough the top opening of my photo tent. And I've included a snippet of the envelope too, I thought the cute "postman" hedgehog from the Penny Black set "Share a Hug" would be perfect to use outside the envelope.
Penny Black Stamp Join In // My Favorite Things Label Sentiments - Similar by Altenew and also available in Spanish // Versafine Onyx Ink // Clear Embossing Powder // Zig Clean Color Markers // Bristol Vellum Paper // Parrot Green Jute Twine // Wink of Stella Glitter Brush
It's been a looooong time since I used this cute image, but aren't these hedgehogs adorable!!

Some clear Wink of Stella Glitter was brushed over the ladybug and bee's wings.

I first stamped and heat embossed the image, then masked the edges all around using washi tape (I wanted a white border around the image without adding another layer). Then I colored Zig Clean Color Markers, and removed the washi tape.. I did have to trim a little bit of the border to make it fit my card. The sentiment is from the retired set "Label Love" by my Favorite Things (retired). This one by Altenew is similar and it also comes in a Spanish version. I found some papers from my stash to go with the card and used parrot green Jute Twine to finish it off. The card base is Stampin Up's Soft Sky card stock.

This is ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!! I always love those hedgehogs!!!!
This is such fun and so cute, love the colouring.
I'm not sure if you do this but I got a professional tip to put a roll of tape or something under the card to lift it up from the background when you shoot from above. Lx
Oh, how cute and sweet!!! Love so much these stamps and how you masked the square to watercolor the background! Great design!!!
Fabulous and cute card!
It's been quite freezing days here too, but it's normal, school's and everything works.
We just say it's winter Thursday;-))m

That's a great tip, Lynn! I have not heard about it. Thank you for sharing!! Will try next time I need to photograph a card.
Thanks so much, Alice!
Thanks Mervi. It's gotta be "really" cold for our schools to close! It's been at least -20 degrees (celsius) and on top of that wind, which made much worse! Gotta love Illinois USA :-)
This is just adorable! I love the black and white stripe and the blue card stock. Those colors look so good together.
So cute Ellie, I will have to I invest in some of these hedgehog stamps, love them, xxxx
A really lovely card, super image and colouring.
