This week for the Artisan Blog Hop we were all given some products to give away to 1 lucky winner.  So make sure you hit each blog and enter to win their goodies.  The goodies that I get to give away are:

About the paper:  100% cotton, cold-pressed 140 lb. watercolor paper. 5 total sheets, each approximately 6" X 9".  
About the stamp set:  Your set will be clear-mount.  Comes with all 7 images shown.

To enter this giveaway, please read all the way to the bottom of this post.  Each Artisan is giving something away so be sure to enter on every site.

There is nothing cuter than little forest animals.  Ok, plenty of things are BUT just look how cute!!  With so many fox images out there, the one in this set certainly doesnt disappoint but I wanted to focus on the hedgehog.  Adorable!!  When I created this card, I was channeling my inner Melody Hyde.  Do you know her?  She's a Concept Artist for Stampin' Up! and I LOVE her style!  She made a card recently that inspired this card.  I'm sure you know which card I'm talking about.

Things to remember when creating this card:  Round your corners AFTER you've run your Gumball Green paper through the Big Shot with the Word Bubble but BEFORE you use the embossing folder.  Also, put cardboard, from your box, under your word bubble to create bigger and even dimension than you'd get with Dimensionals.

 

  To make your hedgehog look like he's a little puffy, simply trace him with an aqua painter (filled with water).  The ink will blur just a little big and you'll get a fun effect.   

Ta da!!
