Hippo Birthday

 Hi!  For the first time in what seems like forever, I had time to make a card just for the fun of it and to enter in a few challenges!  I started with the sketch from MFT, then chose the colours based on the Color Throwdown challenge.  From there, I went with the CAS challenge at Krafty Chicks.


Because it was a MFT sketch, I went through my MFT stamps and found this NBUS set so I decided on the hippos because I could use gray for the CTD challenge.  After colouring the image I cut it out and then made a Polaroid frame using a square and rectangle die.  

I stamped the sentiment and adhered it all together, using foam tape to adhere it to a Fog cardbase.


As per the sketch I found some little clay hearts and coloured one of the white ones with a Copic marker and then adhered them all with liquid glue.


Thanks so much for visiting!
