This is my second card for the Midnight Madness Sketch challenge this week - I have used this gorgeous image from Cornish Heritage Farms, called Skunky Hair - how could I resist!! LOL!
I embossed the image with black embossing powder and then coloured the porcupine with my dauber and distressing ink, I also used the same technique on the grass - this made it show so much more than chalking would have with the dark image. I then used chalks to add the detail and a glitter pen for the mirror. Very quick but oh so cute! What a great card for a hairdresser - I might have to put this one away for mine!

What a lovely lot of distressing, Linda!! Even that skunky hair looks a little distressed!! This is such an adorable creation. Love their cute little blushed cheeks.

OMG, Linda, this is sooooo cute and what a super job you did making it that way. But, I must tell you, my hubby and I were out last night in the car and came upon one of those little skunks that had been run over in the road and they really stink!!!! Of course, I know yours doesn't but you may want to add a little perfume to that card before you mail it to a friend. Truly, I love it!!!
