Hedgehogs and Hugs

 

I have a few hedgehog and hugs cards to share today!

My first card was based on the current Wednesday Sketch Challenge 525. I created an ink blended and spattered background and then stamped, colored and die cut the logs from the retired Happy Hedgehogs Stamp Set. I added a focal image of the sweet hedgehog and a heart, and then some alternate images of leaves and toadstools.

I finished with a sentiment from the same set.

My next card is a bit simple, but I like how the die cut sentiment takes center stage, accentuated from the cute hedgehog from Happy Hedgehogs. This card is for the MFT Color Challenge 157.

I die cut the sentiment with the Sending You Hugs Die-Namics and adhered it to an aqua card base. Then I stamped, die cut and colored a hedgehog from Happy Hedgehogs, tucking in a heart in his hands.

I placed the hedgehog at a slight angle and he makes me smile because I think he's ready to roll right off the card and into someone's lap.

I always appreciate the challenges MFT has as they really get me out of my comfort zone and make super cute cards!
