Today I have a fun card with a cute little Penny Black image that I've had in my stamped images box for ages. I used some strips of Echo Park Country Drive dsp to make the herringbone background, and then embossed the entire thing with a CB decorative tiles ef.
I colored the image with Copics, adding some glossy accents to the pink boot the hedgie is sitting in. I added some Punch-a-Bunch butterflies along with some negative do-dads from a border die cut, and put them up in the sky for that wee hedgie to look at. I die cut the image panel with a Lil Inker stitched rectangles die.
I'm entering this into the Penny Black Saturday challenge for May which is "trees or nature." (tree images in the dsp, plus butterflies and a flower)
I'm also entering this into the MFP Speedy Fox & Friends challenge #261 - to use strips of paper at an angle.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend, and thanks for stopping by!

Love how you made the boot like shiny vinyl! Gorgeous background, Carol!
This use of paper strips looks great, Carol!! I didn't know the name of this technique (the "herringbone" background) but I have seen it in another your card and I think it's fabulous with the embossing!! So movimented and pretty texturizing!
The cute hedgie seems really look at the lovely butterflies! This card is so spring and happy!
Beautiful background and of course you can't beat a hedgie and when he is sitting in a boot you have total cuteness. Have a wonderuful weekend.
Cute image and love the embossing over the herringbone in the background! Very, very cute card!
Hope you have a great day!
