How cute is he!! Well done Lorraine another brilliant card xx
ReplyDeleteAwww, how cute!! Love the piercing on the scallops. What a good idea, it looks great.
ReplyDeleteHi Paula,
ReplyDeleteYou've done an absolutely amazing job on making your own papers (must go and check it out!)
I thought you'd used DP's until I read you'd made them yourself.
Cute little hedgehog and you've coloured him (or her?)perfectly to give the appearance of prickles.
Love the little pile of leaves he's sat on, and I always admire all your attention to the little added details.
Love Elaine xx
