Allsorts 504: Friends

Hello and welcome!
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!!

More hedgehog and critter stamps can be found at Scrapbook.com.

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.

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