Birthday hippos

Normally, what takes me the longest time when I’m having a go at a color challenge, is to pick what stamps or dies to use. Not this time! This weekend I treated myself to a stamp set from MFT with the cutest hippos and a Lawn Fawn pop up box die set, where the banner dies where included. The sentiment and frame die I also got this summer, so the only old items here are my Memory Box chevron die, the grey DI and the markers I used for coloring. I had ‘tons of fun’ making this card last night.


This card is for:
Cards in Envy - Something new
Papercraft Challenges - #17 Chevron
Color Throwdown - #505
