Hugs in a Card

Hi friends! I’m back today with a cardmaking idea for Poppystamps challenge #101. The theme for this challenge is Me & You.

Love cards are not really my forte so I tried my best to come up with something from my Poppystamps stash.

I started by die cutting 2 of these cute hedgehogs from a craft die which I got for free from my last purchase with Poppystamps. I coloured them with different brown Copic Alcohol Markers.

Then I cut a rectangle panel from a smooth white cardstock and ink blended the following colours from top to middle: Distress Ink Spun Sugar, Shaded Lilac, and Stampin Up Balmy Blue ink. I used the second largest die from Scrap Dragon A6 Stitched Rectangle Dies to cut my panel.

Then I added some tiny pink hearts using a pink metallic watercolour I bought from Kmart. I also added some bokeh hearts by lifting off the ink with my waterbrush in shapes of tiny hearts.

Next, I stamped and die cut the sentiment Hello from Marzipan Greetings stamp and die set from Poppystamps. I coloured it with pink Ohuhu alcohol markerks.

Alcohol markers used:

• Hedgehog spines – Copics E43, E42 E41, E40
• Hedgehog body – Copics E13, E11, E00, E000
• Pinks – Ohuhu R12, RV270, RV260

I attached my images and the sentiment with foam adhesives to add dimension since this card is very minimalistic. Then I added the handwritten sentiment sending hedge- right above the HUGS so that it would read sending hedgehugs. Punny right hehehe.

Finally, I glued the panel to a purple cardstock to give it an outline. I used a heavy weight cardstock for my card base to complete my card.
