Birthday Balloons!

Today's card features a trio of Penny Black hedgies with balloons. The one with the party hat is from the 'Cheerful Critters' set, and the other two are old wood block stamps that I picked up in charity shops...'Ballooning!' and 'Bouncing with Joy'. I stamped them all onto a piece of watercolour paper, along with a sentiment from the 'What This!' set by the Coloraado Craft Company, then coloured them using watercolour pencils. For the background, I used papers from the 'Happy Colours' pad from The Works...distressing the edges, and adding faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a black gel pen.
