Special competition - My card to Hamster Central 2015 POLL NOW POSTED

[souffle]

This is a fun competition that will allow us all to send a special Christmas or New Year greeting to our fellow friends here on the forum. There will be a prize for the card voted for as the most popular and this will be one of Souffle's Christmas knitted hamsters. Unfortunately I can only afford UK postage (sorry) though I could send abroad if the winner was able to contribute to the postage costs.
For this competition you have free rein over whatever you wish to do :) The card however must be animal themed, preferably hamsters of course ;) and you can photoshop, add decorations and accessories. You can even hand draw and take a photo if you wish. No flashing of moving images please though as per the forum rules.
I only ask you keep it appropriate for the forum and allow anyone who wishes to print it out and use it in their home as a personal card can do that.
Please do not enter if you are not happy to allow this.
Cards are not for use for anyone else therefor I ask that the front contains a Christmas message for example ' Hammy Christmas from Souffle to all my friends on Hamster Central' or similar. Please use your forum username to respect privacy.
The rules are similar to the photo competitions however note the longer entry dates and the fact the knitted hamster will not be dispatched till the New Year. If you have already won one of the knitted hamsters you are welcome to still enter however the prize will go to the next person who has not yet won one just to be fair ;)

Have you got your prize yet! I got one last year, so wouldn't have won again this year even if my card had been a good one - your card is amazing and a worthy winner.

[WinnieTheHam]

No not yet, very excited to get it though! I'll be getting it from Souffle at the Burgess small animal show later in the month :) Thank you serendipity! I was surprised because Myrcella never stays still, I'm amazed I got that shot! haha :) Everyone made wonderful cards

[souffle]

This little hamster went home to her new owner today and winnietheham and I enjoyed working together at the Bradford Champs show ;)
