Charge of the Light Brigade

There's a very rare Anything Goes theme at As You Like It Challenge this week, and I've used one of my favourite Penny Black characters (the hediges) doing their annual dash to plug in the fairy lights!  I've made 2 similar cards, because I love them so much, using different colour schemes.




Water-coloured on Langton Watercolour paper with Ranger Distress Ink Reinkers:
  • Hedgehogs: Antique Linen, Brushed Corduroy, Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose
  • Ground: Weathered Wood
  • Cord: Silver gel pen
  • Lights: Gold gel pen, Sakura Stardust gel pens

Happy crafting

I think everyone loves the PB hedgies and they get up to so many endearing antics. Love these cards and your colouring is brilliant as always.

These are so cute. I was so pleased to get a top three and tried to leave a comment but blogger is playing up and won’t let me leave comments on embedded comments, only pop ups like yours.

Oh so many gorgeous creations lately Annette, I am not keeping up with things! Love these two cuties, such a fun image and gorgeous cards with the two different plaids. You've really nailed the CAS look these past couple of years. Loving them so much! Your colouring is so fab, the CAS really let's that take centre stage. Happy Christmas lovely. Hugs, Wends xoxo

Another awesome card!! Question for you, so when you watercolor with the Reinkers, do you start with your lightest color then drop in or feather in your darkest? I’m struggling! Any help would be great!! Any hope of for a Video of you watercoloring a critter? Thank you so very much Netty!!
