Walk in the Woods – Watercolored Hedgehog

Don’t you just love this little hedgehog from the Walk in the Woods stamp set? For the watercolouring, I only used 3 different colours and depending on the amount of water I used with the ink, it gave me different shades.

Measurements: 

• Balmy Blue Card Base: 5 ½” x 8 ½”, scored at 4 ¼”
• Crumb Cake Cardstock : 4” x 5 ¼”

Instructions:

1. Cut Balmy Blue cardstock for the base and fold using a Bone Folder for the crease.
2. Stamp the image of the mushrooms and grass randomly on Crumb Cake cardstock using the matching ink pad.
3. Colour the white ribbon from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack using the Dark Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blend and let dry for a minute. (Tip: I coloured both sides of the ribbon).
4. Adhere the ends of the ribbon to the back of the Crumb Cake layer and add cardstock to the card using Stampin’ Seal+.
5. Stamp the hedgehog on Watercolor Paper, then cut out using the 4 ½” Stitched Nested Labels Die.
6. Cut out a Granny Apple Green Stitched Nested Label using the 4 ¾” Die.
7. Use the Medium-Sized Water Painter to colour the hedgehog, the sky and the grass. (Tip: I used one of my stamping blocks as my palette and pushed some ink on to it from the ink pad. I then squeezed some water on to the block and mixed it a bit with the colour before colouring). Set aside to dry.
8. Adhere the two labels together, and then add to the card using Stampin’ Seal+.
9. Stamp the leaves on Granny Apple Green cardstock and cut them out using Paper Snips. Put a little adhesive to one side of the top leaf and adhere them together.
10. Tie a bow around the stems of the 2 leaves using Linen Thread and add them to the card using Dimensionals.
11. Stamp the greeting with Memento ink on Whisper White cardstock and cut out using Paper Snips. Add the greeting to the card using Dimensionals.
