You can find the linky tool to link up your card at the Allsorts challenge blog. And as always you may enter up to 3 different posts featuring a new creation for more chances to win. 

Here is a peek at our prizes:

2. 13 prizes of stamps 
3. A choice of 3 digis from Ruth Hamilton Designs 

for a total of 15 prizes for 15 lucky winners!!!

And here is what I made:

It's been a few weeks since I made a "cute" card so this cute hedgie came out to play. He is part of the Penny Black set Smile All Day. Stamped with Versafine Onyx ink and colored with Zig Clean Color markers. I fussy cut the image to use on this sketch and paper pieced the present.

The hill was done using the "negative" of a hill die cut as a mask (similar option of a hill die), inked with Twisted Citron and Rustic Wilderness ink then I used my Circle Explosion stencil to add dots onto the hill. 

The sentiment is from Penny Black's set Sprinkles and Smiles, the butterfly is from my newest Penny Black die set Soaring and I used Penny Black's Diamond Border die on the bottom portion. Had this die for several years but I think I only used once before. I really want to get in the habit of using dies more often!!

After inking the butterfly I used my a script stamp (Whimsy Stamps - retired) to add words to the butterfly for a little extra detail. I used a clear Wink of Stella glitter brush on the butterflies, ribbon and paper pieced present, but unfortunately the camera didn't capture all the sparkle.

My Wonky Stitches frame die added some faux stitching along the edges before adhering to the blue card base. A few sticky rhinestones finish off the card.
