Had some supplies left over on my table.....Okay, I always have stuff left over on my table but this time I actually used some of them. Like the orange and blue color combo. Anyway, here the what and how's on this card.....
I was originally going to use this for yesterday's card, but ended up with a different image. So today, I used it. The happy hippo and his little friend were colored with copics. Cut out using a friskar oval. Did some faux stitching after I sponged the edges, and layered with blue linen cs.
The necklace is from Curt. He has gone into the necklace making business. Guess he has given up the stunt job and balloon flying thing. (check out Teapot Tuesdays if your are confused)
Used two new punches today. Thanks Silvia for giving us all permission to go buy new punches if we needed them. Only problem is, I don't need them! Okay, I wanted them so I got them. hehe
Put my scene on misc dotted dp then on white cs sponged sunset orange. Added the ribbon to the oval that happy hippo is on, popping the oval up.
All this went on a white card that I doodled the edges. Made a tiny bow with the bow easy put it on the card and that just about wraps it up. Hope you like this.....TFS :0)

What a cute and playful creation! Love all your Mutnik touches. I'm glad to hear Curt has found a more down to earth career, AND to learn that you didn't let need get into the way of want.

Curt the Squirt is making jewelry? Snort! Now Cathy, that is not so macho, so daring, so extreme....its sorta,well, its a girley job! But, on the other hand he is making necklaces for Hippos and there is nothing feminine about a hippo! Hee! So, I guess he can go with the flow until next week when he changes employment again! Poor Curt.....he's so confused!
This is precious.....love that necklace! Its precious!

Now you've surely done it....every hippo out there is now gonna just HAVE to have a similar beaded necklace!! And how many beads, that size, would that be for any hippo out there? A lot I'd say, BUT, dare I say, thats a very fetching hippo in those pretty beads! Very cute card! I love the bird border punch and must get it myself! Fun colors. Fun card! TFS. : )

Oh, Curt has definitely found his niche here. All he needs now is to set up an Etsy shop and he's flying. Metaphorically, just no longer flying literally. Love your birds and grass combination .
