Hi! This card was made for today's Sketch Challenge!
I was working at the elections yesterday, and when I got home, my stampin' room looked like a tornado hit it.... Speedy the Cat and the SSS (Semi Siamese Siblings) decided to just go crazy!!! There were primas scattered EVERYWHERE! I found about 10 yards of slightly chewed ribbon just piled onto my chair. Hmmmmm.... Maybe Speedy the Cat wants me to use so of this ribbon??? LOL!
I decided to feature this great hippo from the upcoming Sweet N' Sassy Stamps release! WOW! She's a DREAM to color!
I stamped the image 3 times and colored each image. I used markers and reinkers to get the deep color and shading. I used an Inkssentials pen to highlight her ear, eyes, nostrils, and toenails. I cut out the images and layered the head and nose.
I wanted to add primas, but do not own any black ones...So, I punched black circles and layered them underneath! The centers of the flowers are new brad hardware from Stampin' Up!

Faith, another stunner. I love love love this fabulous card. Fantastic colors and coloring, That little hippo is just too cute, the black and white dp is to die for gorgeous and the white and orange is not so shabby either. LOL
I love the grouping of flowers with the ferns and those beautiful centers, love the polka dot ribbon too. You always use the neatest stuff.
