I live alone. What can I say? Sometimes the cards talk to me. And they can be persistent. As I was pulling this one's design together, it sort of mentioned something about bling. What bling? I already put Wink of Stella on the quills - didn't you notice? "More bling!" said the card. No, I don't think so. It's lovely the way it is. No need to overdo, you know. All I need to do to finish you off is take a bit of multi-liner and add some life to the hedgies' eyes and nose. And there you go - that moment when the card wins. My little finger caught some multiliner and suddenly my cute little card had a black smudge. And neither the colorless blender, nor a white gel pen could quite fix it. "Grrrrrr!" I said, to nobody in particular. Now I need to start over again!
And the little card said, "Bling!" as the one hedgie looked over at the jar of white sequins. And, finally, there was more bling, the card was saved, the stamper was happy and nobody will ever know it wasn't designed with the sequins in mind.
(That's my story, and I'm sticking to it! LOL!)

This card is just adorable and LOVE that stamp! We are Scrabble junkies here- or at least some of us are. Your coloring on those hedgies really brought them to life too! LOVE this.

Ha....funny how our cards talk to us, isn't it? Your little hedgies are so cute and so is your card. Super card for the fun and games challenge. BTW, you'll have to get those snowmen out soon for a selfie.

This is soooo adorable! Love the hedgies! Your story is to funny! I think we have all had to hide our mistakes with more bling, etc! Anyway, the bling is a great addition! TFS!

Oh, Debbie! Haha! I thought I was the only one whose cards talked to them! Hehe! I loved reading about your card (or shall I say cards - sorry for the first one - RIP), and what a fabulous one it is. I love these two hedgehogs playing, and your coloring (as always) is exquisite. Love the shading too. And your have BLING! Love it! Hugs, sweet friend! xoxo
