Skiing Hedgehog Christmas Card

25 Replies

I’m here with another Penny Black Christmas card that I’m submitting to the current Penny Black @ Allsorts Challenge.
The skiing hedgehog is a stamp by Penny Black called “exhilarating” and the title is from the Penny Black clear stamp set “the wonder”. For a finished look, I added a punched out snowflake and applied some flocking powder to the hedgehog’s Santa hat and the area below his skis.
I colored the hedgehog using Prismacolor Pencils and Mona Lisa Odorless Paint Thinner. In the past, I have watercolored a couple of images (please click here and here) but I always seem to go back to my Prismacolor Pencils. What coloring technique do you use the most?
Thanks for taking a look at my card. I always look forward to your comments!

    Liebe Silke

    Das ist auch wieder eine sehr schöne Weihnachtskarte. Der Igel ist so süss, wie er da den Abhang hinunter saust. Der Schneeflockenhimmel und die gestanzte Schneeflocke gefallen mir auch ganz gut.

    Ich verwende für meine Abdrücke eigentlich nur noch Aquarellpapier und coloriere mit den Distress Stempelkissen, damit komme ich am besten zurecht. Und ich finde, diese Art Colorieren geht sehr schnell und das ist für mich ein nicht unwichtiger Aspekt *grins*. Ich habe zwar auch eine (ganz) grosse Box Pablos und habe auch schon mit ihnen und dem Terpentinersatz coloriert, aber mit meinen Ergebnissen war ich nie wirklich zufrieden und ich kam irgendwie nicht so gut zurecht damit.

    Schönen Tag und liebe Grüsse
    Carola

    Love your card Silke – it’s gorgeous! Love the flock (one of my favourite things to use on Christmas cards). Love how you did the the snowy hill with the torn edge – what a fab idea. The hedgie really looks like he is whizzing down the hill.

    I use pencils mostly to colour my images: watecolour pencils (on watercolour paper) – plus I also love using Prismacolor and Derwent Coloursoft pencils + Odourless Mineral Spirits. I am really a coloured pencil girl and whilst i would like to try Copics, I just know I would want every single colour – hmmm – a slippery slope!

    Awww, it doesn’t get much cuter than this!

    I love how you used your pencils. I am now addicted to my Copic markers. Funny, when I first tried them after using pencils for a while, I didn’t like them at all. Now they are one of my favorite crafting tools.
