Hedgehog Birthday - SUO # 145 Cute Critters

This week the challenge with SUO is to create a card or project featuring a cute critter.
I found this stamp set "Hedge Hog Happiness" which Stampin' Up made in 2000, so I hope a 16 year old SU stamp will be okay for this challenge.

The Hedge Hog was stamped with Black Memento ink on Whisper White cardstock and coloured with a blender pen and ink pads.  The balloon was stamped and coloured twice - the second one cut out the superimposed over the first one using dimensionals.
The image was die cut using the oval framelit.  A fine tipped black pen was used to create faux stitching around the oval, and the edged sponged with Tip Top Taupe.

The die cut image was adhered to a Basic Black Labels framelit using dimensionals, and this was adhered to a larger Label framelit in Tip Top Taupe.  Again, the edges were sponged with Tip Top Taupe.

The base card is Tip Top Taupe, layered with Tip Top Taupe and then "Go Wild" DSP, the reverse side of which was placed on the bottom of the front.  A piece of black rick rack covers up the seam of this piece of DSP.

The image piece was adhered to the card front using dimensionals.

The wooden butterfly is a left over from a Paper Pumpkin kit.

Inks: Black Memento, Crumb Cake, Tip Top Taupe, Chocolate Chip, Real Red
