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, you have such a way with color! So vivid and attractive! I love all of your creations! I can spot them in each gallery almost immediately! You so totally rock!
Have you thought about BREEDING Speedy the Cat?? You could make millions selling the little kritters in paper craft stores!! ~just a thought~ *sigh*
