The Hedgehog Hollow August Kit: Sending Hedgehugs

The August kit for The Hedgehog Hollow has arrived and it is full of global love!  La-La Land Crafts created two exclusive stamp sets this month - Looking Sharp and Sending Hedgehugs.  The Hedgehog Hollow also created a companion stamp set called Global Love, which has images of the UK, USA, and Australia.  Watercolor pencils from Marvy Uchida will make creating a delicate scene fun and easy, and long-term subscribers will receive Tonic Studio's Funky Tape Runner.

I immediately thought of this card idea upon seeing the box contents.  The concept is simple but sweet.  I considered making our wee hedgie a magnet, but elected instead to use foam tape.

I created my own patterned paper using images from Global Love and Sending Hedgehugs (the flower and sunburst images), stamping directly onto my card base with grey pigment ink.  I wanted to create a shadow for the "L VE" so I stamped in the same grey ink, then shifted the stamp over so I could double emboss the letters.  I stamped them in VersaFine Onyx Black ink and embossed with clear embossing powder, twice.  I wanted them to stand out bold against the background.  The sentiment, "Sending Hedgehugs", was stamped in the same black ink and embossed with clear embossing powder on a strip of the textured reddish pink paper from the kit.  I stamped, embossed, and watercolored the hedgehog from the smaller set, attaching a wee heart seal for the envelope.  This sweet prickly fellow was mounted onto the card front with foam tape, as was the sentiment strip.

Make sure you join us on Facebook at Stamping at Hedgehog Hollow for more fun and inspiration!  Until next time.. hugs!
