Welcome back to my blog today.
I am excited to be sharing a project for Kylie Bertucci’s Monthly International Highlights.
Each month there is a blog hop featuring designer’s around the world all sharing what we love most – Stampin’ Up! and all things papercraft.
I can’t wait to share what I have created.
Be sure to pop over and check out all the other amazing projects here.

Here’s a look at my project this month…

I decided to have a play with one of the new stamp/punch bundles from the Mini Catalogue – the Happy Hedgehogs Bundle. It is so cute!
I think of these little creatures as ‘echidnas’ here in Australia and they are so adorable!
I have created a fun background by stamping the large floral stamp tone on tone in Granny Apple Green. This gave me a fun base to work with. I then added some of the geometric hexagon shapes from the Beautiful Shapes dies. I added a little bit of distressing to the edges by adding some Crumb Cake Ink with a Blending Brush.

Here’s a close up look at the finished card where you can see some of the detail.
I coloured my little ‘hedgehogs’ in with some of the Natural Tones Stampin’ Blends and some Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends and then have coloured my little mushrooms with some Poppy Parade and Melon Mambo Stampin’ Blends.
The coordinating punch is great for punching out one of the echidnas and the others are no too hard to fussy cut!
I have embellished my card with some Linen Thread and some Classic Matte Dots which I have coloured with a Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend.

Here’s a look at the decorated inside of my card where I have added some simple stamping and colouring to carry the theme through to the inside.
I really enjoyed participating in this month’s challenge.

Oh so cute! Love how you stamped the background on the apple green and added various layers. And those hedgehogs “echidnas” are just adorable. Thanks Kayla for being part of my International Blog Highlights this month and all the best with voting!
Very cute! I did my card with the Happy Hedgehogs too!
Such an adorable Card! I just love it!
