Hippo Bird-Day

Another week has almost come and gone. It's hard to believe how fast time flies. I am again low on birthday cards so I am back to making them again. Can you ever have too many birthday cards on hand? Anyway, here's my card for today.

I used the My Favorite Things Sketch as inspiration for this card. I used the MFT Happy Hippos stamps set and matching dies. These little critters are so cute! I used gray, yellow and pink as my primary colors. The pink gingham paper was scraps from my scrap box. The vellum background is cut with MFT Inside and Out Stitched Rounded Squares. I colored with Spectrum Noir markers and used a white gel pen for some accents.

I am entering these challenges:

MFT Sketch challenge: sketch above

Seize the Birthday: anything goes

2 Crafty Critter Crazies: use a critter

Through the Craft Room Door: anything goes

Happy Little Stampers: anything goes with dies

Thanks for stopping by. I so appreciate it if you leave a comment. Hope you are moving into the weekend with lots of crafty time! Enjoy.
