This card was done for this week's featured stamper challenge. Shelly thanks for the inspiration. Your cards are all lovely and it was challenging just to pick one. The criteria for me was that it needed to be a simpler card since it is late already. To see Shelly's original card, check out this link: LSC129 Hippo Birthday by papermoon04 at Splitcoaststampers I used the same basic sketch and colors. I changed out the animal in the main image and used colored pencils and gamsol to color instead of markers. I used a different greeting and had to add some speckles because I had a small accident with the greeting stamp that left some extra ink on the background, so the speckles are camouflage. I also extended the white layer to form a frame around the blue.

Such a happy hippo! I really like the subtleness and texture of the BG with the splash of pomegranate! Too cute, TFS!
