This digi stamp was already coloured..  

I used A5 Craft UK card which I mounted Hunkydory cream and gold embossed card on top, I made a backing paper of the hedgehogs on the sledge and mounted it onto the cream gold card, I them cut the image out using a Spellbinders Fleur de Lis die which I mounted on to the gold pearliest card from my stock, I used Pinflair snow dust on the bottom to make it look like real snow, I mounted it onto the rest of the card after  I had put gold ribbon on which I purchased from Meiflower I made a chocolate box bow and added a pearl gem on top to add the finishing touches to the card I then added some gold peel off''s.


 The once common sight of hedgehogs in gardens could become a thing of the past, with the spiny species having suffered a dramatic decline in recent years

A hedgehog is any of the spiny mammals of the subfamily  Erinaceinae, which is in order Erinaceomorpha. There are seventeen species of hedgehog in five genera, found through parts of Europe, Asia, Africa and New Zealand (by introduction). There are no hedgehogs native to Australia, and no living species native to the Americas. Hedgehogs share distant ancestry with shrews (family Soricidae), with gymnures possibly being the intermediate link, and have changed little over the last 15 million years. Like many of the first mammals they have adapted to a nocturnal, insectivorous way of life. Hedgehogs' spiny protection resembles that of the unrelated rodent porcupines and monotreme echidnas.
The name hedgehog came into use around the year 1450, derived from the Middle English heyghoge, from heyg, hegge ("hedge"), because it frequents hedgerows, and hoge, hogge ("hog"), from its piglike snout.Other names include urchin, hedgepig and furze-pig.

Forever Friends was invented 25 years ago (1987) by artist Deborah Jones working from her little studio in Bath, sketched the very first Bears. Greetings card king Andrew Brownsword saw them, loved them and put them on his cards. They soon became the most popular cute cards in the land – loved by young and old alike!

They now have loads of forever friends stuff for people to collect.
