Combined challenges (again!!)

We got back from a lovely weekend away last night, and I managed to get a card made (WOW!!) to fit three challenges:
PBSC (doodling), Secret Crafter (Favourite colour) and Sketch Saturday.
I love this ickle hedgie in the nutshell, and having coloured him I inked the edges and doodled. I used up scraps of my current favourite papers and doodled on and inked the edgesof some of them. I layered it all up onto my favourite colour of the moment - green, and stamped pink scrolls. Hubby got me some glamour mist from the girls as part of my Mothering sunday present so I sprayed some of that over the flowers and added gems. I stamped a sentiment to finish it off. Shock horror - it has no ribbon again (a total oversight!).

I have been amazed by the number of people who entered my blog candy - I will do the random generator thing later on this evening, and announce the winner. Thank you so much to all of you who entered.
Finally I am really sorry that i have not been visiting many blogs and making comments, especially those who have entered challenges on the ABC, DDCC and Sketch and Stash blogs - my laptop has died again and I have just been really busy with life in the last couple of week. Hopefully normality will resume this weeek and I can visit all you fantasic blogs.
Off to pick Ellie up and go to Tumble Tots (I am sure I am just a taxi service for my children's social life LOL!!)

Recipe:
Stamp(s): Penny Black In a nutshell; Scrolls TAC; Papermania sentiment
Colouring Media: watercolour pencils
Papers: DCWV Nursery stack; cardstock from stash
Embellishments: Prima flowers
