ppp watercolor bloghop - hedgehugs in the forest




I've known the pretty pink posh bloghop was coming for a while but this is a crazy time of year for me at work (exam marking - I'm a university lecturer) but I knew what I wanted to make and so I've been taking short breaks between the work I've needed to bring home with me.



Ultimately this card is for my dad for Fathers' day, so I didn't want anything girly, and for some crazy reason I thought I'd try and watercolour some countryside for my hedgehog to sit in (I haven't tried this in at least 20 years!), Turner has nothing to worry about, but I ended up happy enough thinking he was quite sweet.

As a reward for working so hard I bought myself some of the new Lawn Fawn releases and through the slightly older Gleeful Gardens set in too, and it arrived just in time to add details to this card :)

I'm also adding this to Lawnscaping challenge 107 (Critters)
