A Happy Hippo Birthday !

 Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are having a fabulous day!

I'm so excited today to be a guest designer for Digi Doodle Studios!

Digi Doodle Studios is a digi stamp company that has some of the cutest images!! They even have a monthly challenge blog that you can find HERE.  There is so much versatility with how big or small you want your image to be with digital stamps, not to mention the storage space saved in my shrinking craft room lol!

Here is a look at the card that I created to share with you today:

How cute is this little Hippo?? Seriously makes me smile!

My card was fairly simple to make. I started with a white A2 cardbase and covered it with some patterned papers from Echo Park. I die cut a white stitched scallop and added that on top of the patterned paper along with a thin strip of coordinating teal cardstock. Next, I cut a piece of white cardstock and embossed it using a polka dot embossing folder. I adhered it to a dark pink piece of cardstock before adding it to my card front. Next came that adorable image from Digi Doodle Studios called, Hadley Hippo's Happy Wishes! I printed it out onto a piece of Hammermill cardstock and used my COPIC markers to color her. I stamped my sentiment onto the banner before fussy cutting her out. I popped her onto my card front with foam tape for some added dimension. I completed my card with a little tiny pink bow. Super duper cute!!

Copic Colors Used:

--Hippo: T0, T2, T4, R20, R00--

--Shirt: R81, R83, R85--

--Yellow Balloon: Y11, Y13, Y15--

--Green Balloon: YG01, YG03, YG05--

--Blue Balloon: BG10, BG11, BG32--
