Hedgehugs Valentines

Sandi MacIver – Stampin With Sandi – Hedgehugs Valentines

Hi stamping friends, I’m sharing some Hedgehugs Valentines with you today.  Who doesn’t love Happy Little Hedgehogs, they are so adorable.

 

Turn them into a Valentine’s card and you have total Sweetness overload.

____________________________________________

Today’s card is created for the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge for this week:

And it also qualifies for Tic, Tac Toe Challenge, I used the bottom line, my little Enamel hearts sparkle and my card theme is all about Love

Sandi’s Tips & Tricks for the Hedgehugs Valentines Card:

• I stamped the hedgehogs onto Whisper White card stock using Early Espresso Ink.  Once dry, I added highlights with my Crumb Cake Stampin Blends Markers.
• The stump is stamped in Soft Suede and then all 3 pieces were fussy cut out.
• The strip of black and white designer paper across the bottom is from Petal Passion and I used it to frame out my artwork a bit.
• The card is an unusual size, 4 x 9-1/2, and fits into a legal sized envelope.  I wanted that size to spread out the little scene I was creating with all my elements.
• Don’t you love the pop of colour from the hearts and leaves,?  They are die cut with the Sweet Cake Framelits set in Melon Mambo and Lemon Lime Twist – adds the perfect amount of “happy” to the card.
• My sentiment is white heat embossed onto a scrap of Basic Black and trimmed to a banner, surrounded by little Enamel Shapes hearts.
• Look closely, I also used a wooden heart from the Hearts & Stars elements on the front of the little stump.

 

Thanks so much for stopping to visit with me today, wishing you Happy Stamping.
