Inspiration Station Challenge #73 - May 2025

Hello Friends and Happy 1st Monday of May!  It's time for a new monthly challenge at The Inspiration Station Challenge Blog and our inspiration photo features a sweet pair enjoying some quality time together.


Using the "Hedgehog Friends" Stamp Set from Pretty Pink Posh, I've created a card directly inspired by the challenge photo, and will be a Father's Day card for my son. 


I've colored the images using alcohol markers and fussy cut them before adding foam pads.  The patterned paper is from the "Garden Party" 6x6 paper pad by Bo Bunny, I've cut 2 mats using nesting arch dies from Hero Arts and popped on foam pads for dimension.  Lastly, I've added some gold thread from Altenew and gold sequins from my stash.  As an afterthought, I've added white Nuvo Drops in the centers of the sequins for a bit of interest.


We hope you'll join us at the challenge this month, we are sponsored by Poppy Stamps and are thankful for their support.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!
