I used an embossing folder on the bottom section to give the idea of a road. It's a Sheena Douglass one from the Textures range called Distress. I used the ink straight from the pad and rubbed it over the embossing with Hickory Smoke Distress Ink and then blended Pumice over the top. I then stamped the image using Versafine Smokey Gray Ink and watercoloured with my brush pens using a waterbrush. I also added some ink just below the bike to ground it better, and a bit of blue in the background. I finished by adding the sentiment using Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink, and think it might have been better in grey as the black is a little strong I think.
Before I go I would like to say thank you to Mariann, a new follower to my blog who you will find here. As well as cards she does some wonderful book folding and takes commissions I think.

This is so adorable Pat! I love that hedgie riding the motorcycle! The embossing folder you used to colour the bottom looks amazing! Great work! xx
I remember when that stamp first came out and it was so popular they ran out of them initially.
So please you got to ink him up and make a super scene with him Pat, a perfect entry for our 'Men and Boy's' theme at Penny Black and More challenge, lovely to have you join in, thank you.

Hello Pat, your card is adorable, such a cute image and wonderful colours.
I keep loosing track of the days too, they just seem to merge into each other, hoping you are keeping well and safe Kate x
Such a cute masculine card with the hedgehog on his motorcycle! Love the subtle background and the pavement you created!
A great job here Pat! He looks Born To Be Wild!! Ha ha!
I have that embossing folder and it makes a great road (stored now in my mind!) x
Oh, goodness, Pat, that hedgie image just karacks me up! I just love the look of mischief and joy on his little face! You've given him a terrific textured road to scoot along under blue skies! I think your sediment is fine and I love it at a slant. The recipient will love it! Keep on keeping safe and thank you for sharing at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
