I decided to include a little hand drawn element to my card - I deliberately coloured it much paler than the foreground, giving the impression of distance. (nothing fancy, just squiggles that hopefully look like bushes/trees)
Here are pictures of both the front and inside of the card.....
........and lets not forget the customised envelope
Dependent upon the type of paper the envelope is made of I sometimes use Copics as above, however if the paper is a tad too porous and looks like it will bleed, then I play safe and use coloured pencils. Here is a little tip - put a scrap piece of paper inside the envelope when using Copics, so if any colour does come through it marks the paper, not the back of the envelope!!

OMG Jane this is just adorable and your colouring is totally sublime! Will be following your blog with keen interest from now on, loooooove your work! <3 xx
Just started following you last week. This card made me gasp. Your coloring is spectacular. I adore every detail. How fun that you color on the envelope, too. I don't use Copics at all, but really admire those who do. Your talents are tremendous!
I'm just in awe of your colouring. So talented. I love seeing your creations :)
Sooo cute!
Look at these eyes! So cute!!!
He is adorable, a gorgeous little hedgehog.
My daughter said she had never seen a real hedgehog only squashed ones in the road! A friend told me to put mealworms out on an evening which I stared doing about 3 weeks ago....we now have 4 hedgehogs that visit every night!
