Hippo Birthday!

Hi friends!

I hope are having a fabulous day!

Today starts a new challenge over at the

  Addicted To Stamps & More Challenge Blog and it is....

#408 Birthdays!

Can never have too many birthday cards right?

 At least those are the cards that I seem to go through the fastest. 

Here is a look at the card I created:

 

To create my card, I started by creating a A2 card base from some white cardstock. I used some stitched dies to cut out my patterned paper pieces and adhered them to my card base, making sure to add my twine before I glued everything down. I stamped my images with some black memento ink and did a bit of simple coloring with my Copic markers. I used a circle die to cut it out, along with the gray circle, and popped it up onto my card front with some foam tape. I added my sentiment and popped it up with more foam tape before finishing my card with a little bow. Easy Peasy!

Isn't that little hippo adorable? 

Copic Colors Used:
**Hippo: N0, N1, N2, R11, R00**

**Bird: B0000, B00, B01, YR61**
