By making everything using the same ink pads I was able to coordinate easily. I also wanted the card not to be too girly so I went for greens, browns and a little red on Kraft card.
I had a little scrap of aida that has been hanging around for years so I thought it was time to use it. I randomly stamped the ink pads onto it and then sprayed it with some green pearlescent spray (made by putting small amount of pearlescent ink in water in a small mister).
I then frayed the edges. I wanted to keep the stamped images simple. I used small ink pads to ink them out using the same colours as for the background.
I used darker colours for the areas that would be more shaded, 2 greens for the boots and red for the ladybirds. The stamps are Country Companions and were free with a mag.
I used the same inks with a sponge dauber to lightly ink the backgrounds and to give my hedgehog little rosy cheeks and chest and some brown shading.
I decorated the inside of the card using the cork with ink pads again and the papers were made with a sponge dauber.
I would like to enter this card for the following challenges.
