Christmas Card Club challenge14: Winter Animals

Hello Everyone. Thought I was not going to make this one, as we as a family had a funeral yesterday at the Lake District and being in Scotland we had to drive down and return all on the same day. To say I was tired was an understatement. My Son-in-Law did all the driving in the worst weather conditions I've seen in a long time. However we got home safely and that's what matters most.
Our card theme was chosen by our lovely member Shaz and she would like to see Winter Animals. I used a Penny Black stamp of my favourite little skating hedgehogs enjoying some fum on the ice. It is a shaker card but photo quality was not the best. I coloured with Faber Castell pencils, added a mount and used acetate over the aperture to get a shaker card. A sentiment and a few sprigs of holly and now I have a card for Shaz's challenge.  This weather is so depressing along with all the other thing we are having to contend with at the moment too.  Stay Safe my Lovely Friends. Hugs Rita xxx

Hi Rita,
what a lovely shape shaker design.
Love your cute stamped animals and they are coloured wonderfully.
Funerals are so different at the moment my sister represented me in Wales last week for a family one and she said it felt really strange standing apart from family members and not being able to give anyone a hug or handshake.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

Lovely card design and love the skating Hedgehogs. Our weather just can't seem to decide if we are in summer or spring.

Hugs Diane

Adorable shaker card. You did a fabulous job on this pretty card.

Sorry I did not get a chance to submit these last two challenges. My neck is just too tight and sore to want to sit and create and did not even have a spare Christmas card around that I could use.
