Good luck and have fun!!

I got to use HILLARY HIPPO for my image, I LOVE Hippos and HILLARY is so cute! I decided she need to be a purple hippo, so I colored her and the present she's offering with Copics and Atyou Spicas. Then I cut her out using nesties as well as the DP behind her. Image edges are daubed with SU orchid opulance. DP is DCWV. CS is a textured creation that I got from one of the local craft stores. Flower is Prima, ribbon is from Michaels. Sentiment is computer generated and cut out with SU punch. HILLARY does have 2 sentiment options, but I chose to use the image with no sentiment and print the sentiment separate from the image, but it is one of the sentiments that she comes with. (Hope that makes sense).

I used Ariana's sketch from SWEET SKETCH WEDNESDAY for this card. Thanks for an AWESOME sketch!!

Now, your next stop will be ANGIE E's BLOG. ENJOY THE HOP!!
