Critter Gifts

Hello.  I hope you are having a great weekend and finding some time to craft.


Today's card is playing with

and also for 

and also
Every month Maureen (Scrappymo) challenges us to make a
Christmas card.  Her challenge runs from the 25th until the end of the month
and helps us be ready to send those Christmas cards out without a
panicky mad rush!

This sweet little hedgie isn't from a Christmas set but he has a gift all
ready to go.  I stamped him, masked him and put a Christmas tree behind him.

He's colored with watercolor pencils.  The presents too.

I've winked up the presents for some sparkle and shine.
Maybe you can see it better here...

Some bling looks a little like Christmas lights on the tree.


Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

Your bling definitely looks like Christmas lights on the tree. Great masking of the hedgehog to get the tree behind him. Love the arched opening too.

Great masking of the adorable little hedgie and a fun idea to pop in the Christmas tree. Love the aperture which frames the little scene wonderfully x. I am playing catch up as I have had computer problems x

Love the way you combined the sets to turn this image into a Christmas themed one. Perfect masking job as it looks like it was originally one stamp!

Thanks for taking part in the September Rudolph Days Challenge.
