More Happy Hippos

Hi all, 

been a little AWOL again, lots going on around here so I have not been able to post much. But here is a card I made last night for a Gina K Designs Release Party Sketch Challenge. :) I was happy I got it done! LOL! The Hippo is from So Hippy (Gina K). I colored him/her (??) with my SU Taken With Teal Water Color Crayon, and then used my Blender Pens to finish it off. I didn't have a circle punch (gasp!) so I traced a circle and cut it out. The scallop was made with a .75" circle punch. 

I'm going out of town this weekend (baseball trip to Chicago) but will have at least one card to post tomorrow before I take off! :) 

Have a good night!

CC164 & more hippos...

I am going to so miss these colors when they go away in a few months! This is for this weeks color challenge (Sofy Sky, Basic Black, and Purely Pomegranate. When I saw this combo last night, I knew EXACTLY what the card was going to look like. Don't you LOVE those kind of cards? I do! The stamp sets are So Hippy and Hip-Hop Accessories (Melanie for Gina K Designs). OK I have a confession to make, I am addicted to these sets right now! LOL! I guess that is a good thing! All paper/supplies are SU, with the exception of the cute black polka dot paper, which is Martha Stewart (found my my halloween stash of all places!) 

Have a good night! 

Hippy, Hoppy and Very Happy!

Lookie at all these smiling cute animals! I did this for an inspiration challenge on SCS, the theme was to create a zoofari, well, I think this card accomplishes that much at least. I did not want to embellish much because of all the coloring/images. The pink hippo is popped up on dimensional. I did some masking, stamped the images with brown stazon ink, and colored them in with Watercolor Wonder Crayons and a SU Blender Pen. 

I was going to take a peek at the SCS sketch, but I can't get on to SCS right now so I guess I'll do it tomorrow! Have a super night!
