This week for the TSC, Terri challenged us to make a card with something not seen in nature. I needed a Valentine card for my son and his family. They got a hippo card for Christmas and now for Valentine's day. (A hippo with bunny ears is next) Anyway, you don't see purple hippo's with their toe nails painted red and usually not carrying a Valentine message.
Brat, you really made me think on this one. Thought sure it was going to be purple bushes.

This is So Darn Cute! Your hippo is so unnaturally adorable, and naturally, what other color could a purple hippo's nails be but red!?! I like all those sparkly brads too.
I just knew the Sistah's minds could think unnatural like!!!

What a fun card! Love your red-toe-nail hippo. This will bring a smile to your son and his family's face for sure! Valentine's cards should be really fun like this!

Okay - this is totally cute and made me smile - I love your purple hippo with the painted nails. What really made me giggle is the thought of the hippo with painted toenails and bunny ears!!

Hey sis you gave me palpitations I thought you were going to tell me that Peter Potamus the Purple Hippo was not real!! but then you went on to say that they do not have their toe nails painted red that would just be unnatural haha!
This is the cutest ever Valentine's card I just counted 20 sparkly brads you used on it too, now that's love using all those on one card
