Hello There and Twitterpated Paper

This is my favorite new stamp set and b&t papers. You can only get this stamp set by ordering our Twitterpated Workshop kit, in the kit is Level 2 Twitterpated pack, Hello There stamp set, Chocolate ribbon round for $29.95.
I used: Hello There ss. Twitterpated b&t paper, colonial white, and cocoa cs.
Ink: Bamboo, brown bag, chocolate, sorbet, cocoa and topiary. Black marker.
wiggle eye and twine.

The first card is without embellishment.
The second has our new Organic chipboard buttons.
The third has our new Basic buttons.

The techniques used on these cards are: quick coloring for the hedgehog, inking mushroom with sorbet stamping on scratch paper and then rolling the edge of stamp in sorbet, called rolling. The stem is inked in bamboo and rolled in brown bag. The grass is stamped in first and second generation. Then the blades of grass are cut with an x-acto knife so the stem of the mushroom can be glued behind the grass. Repeated with the feet and bum of the hedgehog. The mushroom cap and hedgehog are attached with foam tape.
