Autumn Hedgehog Card

Have you ever seen a live hedgehog?  They are really tiny.  I thought they were as big as guinea pigs but they are really the size of mice.  The ones we saw in a Japanese department store were so cute I wanted to buy one, but of course Hawaii doesn't allow them as pets.  The best I could do was buy a Lawn Fawn hedgehog die and stamp set.  To make the hedgehogs more realistic, I die cut them and then glued on some Fun Flock.  After the glued flock was dry, I stamped the hedgehog image over the flocked die cut shape. I discovered that some inks print over the flocking very lightly and other inks print a dark image, so you will have to do a test to see what look you prefer.  The die cut leaves used on this card were also Lawn Fawn products. Don't you love the veining?

The card was cut using a die from the Little B set that I purchased at HM Ben Franklin Crafts.  This set is great because the die precisely makes a neat fold in the card as it cuts it out.  Also the set has several card sizes and shapes to add to the front.  I was thrilled to find the green textured paper (12x12) and the Hero Arts sentiment stamp in the clearance sale bins at Ben Franklin Crafts.  They both perfectly fit the look I planned for my card!  I hope that you will search for autumn crafting goodies at your nearest BFC store too.  See you there!
