The challenge this week at The Stamping Bazaar’s Blog is to create a card or project based on the sketch provided. This week is a super fun sketch with lots of layers! For this card, I used Little Angel on Cloud from The Stamping Bazaar designed by Marina Neira. I wanted to add more color so instead of a white gown, this Little Angel got a blue one. ;D

Did you know? The Hershey Process of making milk chocolate was invented by Milton S. Hershey and can be produced more cheaply than other processes since it is less sensitive to the freshness of the milk. The process is a trade secret, but experts speculate that the milk is partially lipolyzed, producing butyric acid, which stabilizes the milk from further fermentation. This compound gives the product a particular sour, “tangy” taste, to which the American public has become accustomed, to the point that other manufacturers now simply add butyric acid to their milk chocolates.

I made this card using Nancy with Bouquet from The Stamping Bazaar created by Marina Neira. As an educational experimented, I looked up hedgehogs with my daughter and then we tried to color one as realistic as possible. I never knew how multi-colored the quills and how hard it would be but it was fun!

Did you know? The Schmidt Sting Pain Index is a pain scale rating the relative pain caused by different Hymenopteran stings, comprising the sawflies, wasps, bees, and ants. Schmidt classifies the stings of 78 species and describes some of the experiences in vivid detail, such as these:
1.2 Fire ant: Sharp, sudden, mildly alarming. Like walking across a shag carpet and reaching for the light switch.
2.0 Yellowjacket: Hot and smoky, almost irreverent. Imagine W. C. Fields extinguishing a cigar on your tongue.
