Welcome back! It is the start of a brand-new week, and I created a cute love card for CAS Colours & Sketches (#522).

Taking inspiration from the following challenges: Stampin’ Up! Only (#337) for a masculine card and Critter Crazy (#79) to add an animal incorporating stencils for Happy Little Stampers (October) and Inkspirational (#300) to add a matching envelope.




Here is the result:

Steps:
- Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Basic White cardstock.
- Background Panel: (4⅛” x 5⅜”) Basic White cardstock.
- The sentiments, love and YOU, from the Sentimental Park stamp set were stamped into Versamark ink and then into Blueberry Bushel ink and stamped. The words were heat-set with Clear Embossing Powder using the Clear Color Embossing Technique.
- Using the “Kisses” Crosses stencil from the Foursquare Decorative Masks set, a Sponge Dauber and Blueberry Bushel ink, the Crosses were added diagonally across the panel.
- Focal Image – Painting Hedgehog: Clipped image from the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper pack.
- The image was colored and over-colored with Stampin’ Blends Markers. Colors Chosen: Light and Dark Fresh Freesia, Light and Dark Blueberry Bushel, Light Daffodil Delight and Light Crumb Cake.
- The image was fussy-cut with Paper Snips.
- Frames: Basic White and Blueberry Bushel cardstock.
- Circles were die-cut using the (2½”) and (2¾”) Circle dies from the Deckled Circles Dies set.
- Envelope: Basic White
- The Flap was also sponged with Blueberry Bushel Crosses to match the card.
All elements were adhered together and the card was assembled. The Heart Painting Hedgehog is a cute image for a clean and simple love card that is most suitable for a fellow.
Thanks for spending some of your time with me today. Cheers, Jolanda!
