Hearty Hippo!

Good Morning Crafty friends!

For Challenge #246, our challenge is a

SKETCH

I used Hearty Hippo as Valentine's is just around the corner. 

I used DP from DVWC and CS from Recollections. Used Oval and Scalloped Ovals from Spellbinders and finished with Enamel dots from my stash.  I embossed a Hero's Arts Sentiment in MS pink EP.

I colored the image with Chameleon and SN Markers

Here's the inside of my card with the same design as the front:

I used the sweet Happy Hippo 2 from Just Some Lines.

Loved this coy lil' Hippo!!

I went simple this week as I wanted the focus to be on her and the Spring flowers. Used my Icicles Die from Marianne Designs- just turned it into grass.  The Leaf and Sentiment die are from Sizzix and the flowers and enamel dots are Recollections. 

I colored the Happy Hippo with SN Markers; then fussy cut her out. I created a frame using my Circle Die from Spellbinders. 

Be sure to check out my teamie's creations for more inspiration- trust me, they are FABULOUS!!

Happy Craftin'!
