Chillin’ on the Ice in Rinkside Style

Looks like someone is ready for hockey season! This adorable little hedgehog from the Woodland Trio is dressed using dies from Rinkside Style. He’s sporting a pair of skates and some hockey gear, and I have to say, he looks absolutely adorable out on the ice!

Making the Hedgehog

First up, I die cut the hedgehog with the Woodland Trio dies using Alabaster, Fawn, Truffle and Raven ColorWheel Cardstock. I love that the dies are etched, giving the hedgehog’s fluffy hair some nice textured detail.

Dressing Him with Rinkside Style

I dressed him in a classic combination of red and blue with white trim, using the Rinkside Style dies to give him his complete hockey uniform. The cardstock colors I used are Pomegranate, Cosmic Sky and Classic White ColorWheel Cardstock. From his gear to his ready-for-action pose, this little guy is all suited up and waiting for the puck to drop.

Stenciling a Monochromatic Backdrop

For the background, I created an icy scene using the Wintertime Memories stencil. I began with an A2 sized panel of Windy ColorWheel Cardstock. For the stenciling, I used a blender brush with Tumbled Glass, Stormy Sky, Faded Jeans and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide Inks. Finally, I splattered white paint over the entire panel to mimic lightly falling snow.

Snow Day Sentiments

The finishing touch is the sentiment, “Ready for Winter,” which couldn’t be more fitting. I chose Sunny Studio Stamps Brilliant Banner #2 and cut the pieces from white cardstock. Onto the banner, I stamped the words from Snow Day Sentiments using Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide Ink.

To Sum it Up

I love how easily this card went together. The stenciled background made quick work creating the perfect backdrop for a snowy winter scene. Who knew a hedgehog could be such a natural on the ice? He’s also a pretty cool dude on the beach, as seen on this previous card.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope this little hockey player brings a smile to your face and inspires you to have some creative fun with your own winter-themed cards!

One of these days, I’m going to try and make this little guy look like Sonic the Hedgehog, as I know my grandkids would absolutely LOVE that! If I succeed, I’ll be sure to share it!

Until next time,
