This is my inspiration, that features Happy Hedgehogs stamp set.
Those hedgehogs are my absolutely favorite!
I was inspired to create a one layer card, drawing a fall scene around them.
I firstly stamped the two hedgehogs on a piece of Transotype Perfect Coloring Paper using some Memento Rich Cocoa ink pad: I didn't want a no-line look but I wanted softer edges than black lines . I started from a 6"x4,5" piece of paper, I always love to start from a bigger piece of paper and then cut it.
I then drew all the background: I went for simple shapes as learned in the "Storybook Scenes" class by Sandy Allnock. I colored everything using copics, especially earth, red and yellow-red tones (you can find a complete list below). I really love fall colors! I didn't shade them so much, because I knew I would have added details and textures with both copics and pencils.
I added dots and lines to the bushes and ground until I wans't happy with the result and then cut the panel to a 5,5"x4,25" size.
I stamped the sentiment in the centre top portion, using Milk Chocolate premium dye ink.
As a finishing touch, I added a slightly larger piece of Milk Chocolate cardstock, in order to create a brown frame to my scene.
Thanks for stopping by, I really hope you will like the final result!
