Hedgie’s reading

Happy Saturday…yay for the weekend! 

Today I have a birthday card with Tina Wenke’s Hedgehog Reading image.  School is almost out where I live so this image would also be perfect for all those students studying for finals!  I actually made 2 of this card and added a little something to one of them for a special someone…read on!

When I first bought the Labels 7 Nestabilities I knew I wanted to create a book-shaped card.  It just took me a while to take time to do it.  LOL.  The edges were sponged with distress ink and I also folded and sponged the center of the patterned paper.

In this photo I hope you can see the Crystal Effects used to make the glasses shiny.  And I used a silicone dimensional glue to pop up a few areas.  We learned about using this from the lovely ladies at the Buffalo Stamps & Stuff store.  I need to practice more with this but you can see the top edge of the flower raised up here.

From this angle you can see the flower again…how the top edge is raised.  And Hedgie’s arm was popped up as well.

I mentioned that my second Hedgie card was for a special person…Stuart (one of the owners of Stampavie) recently had a birthday and so I personalized his card with a special book…LOL.  Stuart is always teasing the design team (all in good fun!) and this was a chance to tease him back.  😉  I know it isn’t proper English at the end but I was running out of space.  LOL.

Stuart, I hope you had a great birthday!
