Kraftin' Kimmie Saturday Challenge #514 - Happy Birthday!

Hello, hello!! I hope you've all been having a wonderful week so far! It's been super cold here in Alberta, Canada, but it's looking like the temp will be a bit more comfortable over the next few days! I've been staying in and getting crafty though for this week's challenge over on the Kraftin' Kimmie Blog - our theme is Happy Birthday! Who doesn't love a birthday card? 💗 I can always use more in my stash, so this was an easy one...

I'm using the brand new Happy Hedgehogs stamp set from the January Release. This is perfect not only for Valentines, but I thought the balloon was great for a birthday card, and how many sweet friendship cards could you also make... and think about a sweet bookmark or bookstore gift card holder with that little book reading hedgehog!

After stamping this cutie on bristol cardstock with Wicked Black Krafty Kolours Ink, which is Copic friendly and waterproof, I made a few masks with a sticky note and added four more balloons. I simply used a black marker to draw in the string. I used a watercolour palette to colour the images in and cut it out with a Sizzix dotted oval die.

I used some coordinating papers, diecut ephemera and stickers from a couple SCT Sampler Packs to finish creating my card after stamping the sweet sentiment from the Happy Hedgehogs set. You'll see the sketch I was inspired by below! I added a few of the beautiful Lovey Dots, some Stickles and used Glossy Accents to create a domed effect over the balloons.

Here are the details:
