Penny Black and More - April Challenge

Happy Sunday everyone! Hope you are enjoying your day where ever you are!

Since it's the first Sunday in a new month it is time for our new challenge over at Penny Black and more.

This month our theme is a super easy one...

Oh so cute

I hope you play along with us, can't wait to see what you make!

For my card I used the super cute stamp "Baby Hammock" by Penny Black of course.

I have been in love with hedgehogs ever since I found one in my backyard when I was a child. And if you have followed my blog for some time, then you know that the hedgehogs are my favorite Penny Black stamps too.

This cutie has been colored using Faber Castell Polychromos pencils and copic markers for the skin tones.
I just love this simple sketch, perfect to show off the cute stamp. I embellished with a few die cut flowers (MFT flowers and leaves die), some flourishes using Whimsy Stamps Vines shapeology die, a little bit of lace and some sticky pearls.

The sentiment is from a baby set by the angel company. I just used SU's word window punch to punch out the words separately and then tucked them under the flowers as little tags.
The designer paper is by Debbie Mumm which I purchased at Joann's a couple of years ago. Of course I did some sewing and added a little bit of glitter to finish it off.

Hope you like it!

This month we are sponsored by a few amazing companies again - Penny Black, Stampalot, and Joanna Sheen which means several prizes are up for grabs. I hope you'll join us. Don't forget you are not required to use a Penny Black stamp, you may use any stamp, we just ask no digis please.

And here are a few challenges I have combined:
