Say Goodbye to Hedgehugs

I think the Hedgehugs set is just so cute but I didn’t even notice the mushrooms until I made this card for today.  I colored in the bird image and the flowers using the Balmy Blue, Granny Apple Green, Real Red, and Soft Suede Stampin’ Write Markers.  The rhinestones were colored with the Dark Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends Marker but it may be hard to see the color.

Check out my other posts using Hedgehugs.

I followed sketch #318 from the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.

Rooted in Nature with AHSC#277

I’ve had a hard time finding my mojo lately and so I really needed a sketch.  This one appealed to me because it called to my designer series paper which makes cardmaking so much easier.  How beautiful is that paper!  I had an issue putting it on the Soft Suede layer straight so out comes the trimmer and a new Soft Suede layer.  If it wasn’t for the dimensionals under the Blackberry Bliss pattern, you may not have known I had an issue putting it together straight.  🙂

I used the Stamparatus to do the sentiment so I could emboss it twice.  I stamped it with Versamark ink, sprinkled with copper embossing powder, and heat set.  Then I stamped it again with Versamark ink, sprinkled it with copper embossing powder, and heat set!  Three times is even smoother but I was late with this post already.  🙂

Here is the sketch I’m following:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch #247

I still have the Myths & Magic Glimmer paper on my table so I used it on this card too.  I’ve got glitter everywhere.  🙂

I stamped the “Happy Birthday” from the Butterfly Basics stamp set on vellum in Basic Black Archival ink and then embossed it with clear embossing powder.  I did a double layer of the vellum to help the sentiment stand out over all that glitter.

Here is the sketch

Butterfly Basics with a Flourish

I think I use the sentiments in the Butterfly Basics stamp set more than I use the images, they just seem to fit what I need whenever I’m looking.   And I just can’t resist adding a flourish when the card feels like it just needs something.

A Whole Lot of Lovely Vintage Leaves

I really do adore this paper.  I tried putting some cut out leaves with the bow but it was just so cute on it’s own I didn’t want anything else there.  I can’t say this is my favorite color combination but it screams fall to me.
