This is for Toni's WTUI challenge this week - you can check out the details HERE.
I found I didn't have a lot of suitable images - but when I did find this one, it also gave me the chance to use some paper that I struggled with! As he pulls his little reindeer along, I think my hedgie must be imagining himself up in the Alps; the stamp is even called "Make Believe".
Image stamped on watercolour paper and coloured with Inktense pencils. I masked off the hedgie and his little reindeer and spattered white paint for snow, also added paint quite thickly for snow on the ground. Then it was just a case of adding the DP above and below, and a couple of sentiment tags with snowflakes.

A sled is a favorite toy in the winter for many kids around the world!! What a fun image and so cute the way you added thick white paint for snow! This hedgie wants to be on the ski patrol when he grows up!

Wonderful card, Sabrina. The silver on the tiny tags looks perfect. Your paint snow turned out in such a soft, subtle way and makes a fun bg fir your beautifully colored hedgie.
So cute, Sabrina! There are some cute pull toys, I remember, but this is an adorable one. I have to look to see if I have anything appropriate for this challenge. How can we have so many stamps and not have something for these challenges! LOL

I use to go sledding every moment I had when I was a child in the winter. We had the best hill in the park at the corner of our street and if there was snow on it we were on it sledding. Oh the memories...Once I get moved I am going to have to take my little guy there to have some fun in the winter. Super adorable image and darling card. Love the added paint to add some fun texture to the card in the scene.

What a perfect image for the challenge, Sabrina! Just as children do, I think you're right that the beautifully colored hedgehog is imagining pulling his lovely toy reindeer up into the Alps! His surrounding designer paper certainly should give him that feeling. Fantastic art, Sabrina!
