I've had another play with my favourite hedgehogs in a similar scene to my last card but far more clean & simple. I love these little guys and they always make me smile when I colour them. As usual I've watercoloured my image using DI reinkers and my dinkiest brush for some of those prickly details. I've opted for 'no lines' by stamping the images in pale grey ink. I masked each element of the scene, starting with the parts at the front (the hedgehogs) and working my way 'backwards' with the toadstool, tree stump and lastly the log. Finally I drew some grass (with a very fine brush!) in a couple of different greens.
And here's their close up - say "
cheese" guys! :0)
