Thistlehogs

Good Morning everyone.

More thank you cards today.  I was naughty in the black friday sales and a few pink ink stamps fell into my basket.  These thistlehogs stamps flew into my basket as you how i love my hedgehogs.  Totally flat cards which is rare for me.

5x7" cardbase.  I stamped the images onto white card and die cut into stitched rectangles.   I then simply watercoloured them with distress inks and added a yellow wash around them and stencilled diamonds - that was trying out my new stencil!  Stamped sentiment and a touch of glitter glue on the wings to finish.  Matted onto turquoise blue card and then base.


Version 2.  Id love to see a few of these in my garden flittering among the flowers


I also bought this fungi stamp.  Made the same way and with the same colours, i just added the sentiment to the side as couldn't fit it on the topper nicely.
 

Items Used:
Pink Ink Stamps - thistlehogs & shitake happens
Stampin up sentiment curly cute
Double stitched rectangle dies
Aall&create stencil - diamonds
Distress inks - Squeezed Lemonade, cracked pistachio, evergreen, ripe persimmon, shaded lilac
Ranger diamond stickles

Thank you all for stopping by once again..  I hope you all enjoy the rest of the week and have a good weekend.  



Id love to enter the following with my first card:
