Hello again,
I'm on a card making roll this week - so many challenges to play along with so what's a girl to do but combine 4 challenges with one card:
Can you believe the challenges over at Time Out started 10 years ago? I couldn't possibly let that one go by without making a birthday themed card for their celebratory challenge. I've also combined it with the colours over at The Paper Players, the sketch at AAA Cards and thrown on a few hearts for the Addicted to CAS challenge.
I coloured one of MFT's Happy Hippos and set him against a blended DI strip of colour (Spun Sugar and Picked Raspberry). I was going to leave the other panel plain but it just needed a bit of something else so I added a few MFT stitched clouds together with the sentiment. The scattering of hearts on the ink strip is an older stamp from W Plus 9 that's seen a lot of ink over the years.
Happy birthday to all the team at Time Out, especially to Sandie who started it all - great to see one of her beautiful CAS creations there this week!
Happy stamping!
Claire
That is so adorable I love it, especially love the bank of clouds the hippo really looks like it is flying. Thanks for playing along with the sketch challenge at AAA Cards that's a great take on the sketch
