Hi Friends, Well, it happened! My daughter blessed us with a grandson this past weekend, 3 weeks early. And he is so SWEET. Pictures to come. His arrival inspired me to make this card following the Mojo Monday Sketch 336. I saw this Penny Black stamp sitting on my shelf and I always wanted to color it with Prismas on Kraft. So I dusted them off and colored this up! It's my one and only Hedgehog Stamp and he's so cute.
I used some older K&Co gingham paper, PTI Blue, Yellow and Kraft Card stock, an older prima flower, Swiss Dots EF, button and twine. The sentiment is Hero Arts stamped in Memento Danube Blue ink. I kept it pretty simple for mailing. It was fun to color with Prisma pencils again. No OMS were used, just blending with the pencils themselves.
