Hedgie of a Thank You!

Good Morning!

November Challenge #2
~GIVE THANKS~
(Must be noticeably Thanksgiving themed or have a 
sentiment that says something about giving thanks)

The prize is 3 digi's of winner's choice from

 Fresh Brewed Designs.

As Canada's Thanksgiving was last month, I decided on a "Thank You" card using the adorable Hedgehog.

  How cute is he? Paper is from DCWV and I used oval and scalloped oval Spellbinder dies. I made a bow with some twine and button then finished it off with some red/blue enamel bling from Michael's. Sentiment is from Stampendous. 

I colored the image with SN markers in different shades of browns/golds and used white Gellyroll Marker for highlighting. 

I loved how "he" turned out. ;o)

Here's the inside of the card with 'Thank you" Sentiment from Stampendous:

I hope I've inspired you to join in our fun challenge. 

I'd like to enter the following challenges:
Top Tip Tuesday Challenges- Buttons or Bows 
Tip: Make a bow using button and twine. I just loop different colors of twine around my fingers a few times then tie it to the button with it across the "loop". Cut off the loops on each end and your done! :o)
