Hi! This card was made for today's Color Combination Challenge: Basic Black, Purely Pomegranate and Soft Sky.
Well....Soft Sky sounded good for some big hippo bottoms! LOL! You see, Harriet Hippo's daughter, HOPE, (oh, my goodness...that's my SISTER's name! LOL), and her sister have a big butt contest every holiday...Right now, Faith...(Oh, my gracious...that's MY NAME!), has the smallest!
So, this card was made for our mother...I mean, for HARRIET, since she is the reason her off-spring have large posteriors! LOL!
Harriet and Hope were stamped twice each on separate pieces of designer paper, shaded with SU! blender pens and cut out and layered. A Signo Pen was used to fill in facial features and toenails.
The scallops were made with Marvy Punches. The designer papers are from SU! and the grosgrain ribbon is from the Offray Outlet in Hagerstown, MD.
I colored the HodgePodge Hardware with a Sharpie and added Signo Pen dots.

I love your big butt hippo's. And the card is just great. And I adore your newest babies on your blog. I want a siamese so bad, but the JRT team say "No Way" they would eat it. Bad JRT's. So my friend has 5 Siamese and I'm their GodMother and that makes me happy for now. TFS

Oh, Faith, this is just too stinkin' cute, and that's not bc the hippos are farting! This just makes me laugh bc when I was a kid, my sister and I would have to share a bed and we'd always crack up if one of us said...I think our butts are touching! Sorry if that was TMI!!!
