Monday Montage 205 - Happy Hedgehogs

Wow - Its been a while since I have posted - lets just say 2021 ended with a Boom bigger than I could handle.  I am looking forward to a lot of positive changes and outlook as we start another year of Covid, politicians, and all the Joy I can find!

When I first started stamping, I brought my Mother to one of my card classes I was attending.  The demonstrator had a few of her retired items for sale.  My Mom raced into the sale room and grabbed the cutest hedge hog stamp set.  I couldn't wait to make cards and added it to my stash.  

While I still may not have that stamp set, I have a real hard time saying no to a hedgehog stamp.  The Hedgehog Happiness set has some great coordinating stamps that make it easy to put a cute card together.

 I wanted to give the scene some dimension, so I cut the flowers out and added them on top with curled petals.  I embossed the clouds after cutting them out and the butterfly and hedgie have dimension too!
