This is my card for CC723. Jeanne is our hostess and she has chosen calypso coral, coastal cabana and pool party for her color trio. Dessert option is add a metallic.
I like to make Valentine cards using non-traditional colors so I thought I would give these ones a try. And, with the help of Stampin'-Up's neutrals (soft suede, baked brown sugar, crumb cake, smoky slate and mossy meadow), I think I was successful.
Started by sponging my clouds with tumbled glass distress ink- its really close to pool party. Then I started creating my little hedgie scene.
I used the new CottageCutz Valentine Hedgehog die.
For the hearts I used calypso coral and sponged them with the same ink to make them darker. For the grass, I used mossy meadow but with a very light touch since this is a very dark green.
To cover the metallic, I used some Wink of Stella on the coral hearts. Stamped my sentiment on a cloud and that finished my card.
Hope you can play along with us this week. We can't wait to see what you will do with Jeanne's fabulous color combination.

That little hedgehog is completely adorable! Did you know hedgehogs are the mascot of bobbin lacemakers? They look like the pin cushions we use with all the pins sticking out. I love the way you used this week's colors to make this totally adorbs card!
