Friday Sketchers Challenge

You may have gathered that I do enjoy a bit of a challenge this one is from Friday Sketchers. This is the sketch that was given.....
I have a serious lack of mojo at the moment and so sketches are a brilliant way to get some ideas and not have to use your brain too much! You can copy the sketch 100% or just use it as a starting point to create from. This is my interpretation of this weeks sketch.

I have used one of my birthday stamps (well it is obviously a Christmas stamp but I git it for my birthday?!?)Penny Black Xmas Hedgy, I have used watercolour pencils to colour him in, and have used white liquid applique on his hat. (A little tip, you may already know this), once I had puffed up the liquid applique I sprinkled some Doodlebug glitter on top, if you do this whilst still warm the glitter will stick to give a naturally puffy glittery effect. I have used red & green Bazzill and Doodlebug Christmas paper. The greeting is from a DCWV Christmas rub on book and the snowflakes are cut using my Cuttlebug and the winter die set. I have embossed the red panel with my "Curls & swirls" embossing folder and have finished off by adding some black dots around the green panel with my black Zig writer.
