Anniversary card for my husband

 
 
Another card made with the Penny Black clear set called Piece of my heart.  This is for my husband for our anniversary.  Colored hedgies with Copic markers.  Cut out banner by hand.  Scalloped flower border was cut with my Silhouette Cameo using a file I bought at the Silhouette store.  Also used twine and some pearls.  Flowers and leaves are EK Success punches.

Penny Black Hedgehog

 
Just rec'd my new order of Penny Black stamps and couldn't wait to ink them up.  I normally don't color PB Hedgies with Copic markers, but I found a tutorial on you tube and decided to give it a try.  Not sure if I like the results as well as I do when I use colored pencils, but it was fun to play with the technique.  I plan to send this to the childrens charity.
