The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
Today I am featuring the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set from the new January – June Mini catalog. As you know, this catalog goes live, and Sale-a-Bration begins, on January 4th. The new products will be available for ordering beginning at 3:00 am (MT). Now you might be saying to yourself, “Where are the Hedgehogs on this card?” Well, I opted to use the flower and butterfly images from the set, along with this delightful sentiment, to create today’s sparkly friendship card.
I used blender pens and inks to color the images. Glimmer paper, clear rhinestones and White Glittered Organdy ribbon add lots of sparkle.
And if that isn’t enough sparkle, clear Wink of Stella was used to highlight the butterfly and leaves.

So pretty! Love the soft colors and blooms!
This card is just beautiful Ann with that fabulous sparkly background and with all of the beautiful Wink of Stella – and it was a real surprise to me, as I didn’t recognise the image at all. Love that sentiment – so back to my catalogue to start the wishlist of things overlooked lol! What a great challenge to start the new year!
I love this shiny challenge, Ann! You know I love some bling! Your card is so beautiful! All the pastel colors and those flowers are so pretty! SMILE! Happy New Year, My Friend!
Ann, this is such a lovely card. Had to look for the Hedgehog stamp set in the mini…..didn’t even notice it.
Beautiful; simple and yet very elegant
Love how sweet this is! That image and sentiment, colored in those pretty pastels, really makes this precious! But the sparkly background and wink of stella…it’s STELLAR! Thanks for a great challenge!
Love the delicate look of this sweet card, especially the flowers.
