Hi everyone and a Happy Happy 2021!!
I hope your New Year is off to an amazing start!
Today I have a cute birthday card to share with you that I made with a few challenges in mind.
The challenges that I will be entering are:
--Use Your Stuff: #413 All About The New (I used a new stamp)--
--Sweet Stampin' Challenge Blog: New (I used a new stamp)
&
Here is a look at the card that I created for the above challenges:
As soon as I saw the sketch from MFT, my mind went straight to these fun little hippos in the Picture Perfect Party Animals stamp set. I've had this stamp set in my stash for a few months and never got it inky...until now. I started by stamping my image with some Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto a piece of white paper and coloring up those adorable hippos with my Copic markers. Once I had them colored in, I trimmed my image, leaving a border so that it mimicked a Polaroid style photo, and stamped my greeting underneath the image. I set that aside and started building my card base. I started with some more white cardstock and covered it with some striped patterned paper. I doodled around the perimeter with a black sharpie pen and started adding some stars. I used a couple of different die sets for my stars and cut them all from some white paper, coloring them with Copic markers so they matched my image perfectly. Once I had most of my stars where I wanted them, I popped up my image panel with some foam tape and added the rest of the stars. I added some sequins, white Nuvo drops and some clear Wink of Stella to my stars to complete my card.
I think it is so fun and those hippos look like they are having a blast!! lol!
