WEDNESDAY WITH HAPPY HIPPO and JUST SOME LINES:)

Hi everyone, it's my day to share something at JUST SOME LINES BLOG and hopefully you will find it fun and interesting!:) I typically always color my images first and then find the papers and the sentiment I want to go with them after. This way of making cards has become more and more time consuming as I search through my vast stock of papers and sentiment stamps. So, this past week or so, I have been creating the card first and then coloring the image after to go with the papers. I am still not certain if I am sold on this way of making cards, but I will try it out for at least the rest of this week.


Anyhow, I have also been getting bored making the same old rectangular or square card, so I have been trying to challenge myself to use different folds or different color papers than what I usually choose. You'll let me know what you think. Today I am presenting my Petal Card using a tutorial from Beate available at SPLITCOAST RESOURCES PAGE.

Here is the front:

I used my NEW NESTIES circles and then my old Nesties scalloped circles for the DP which is from My Mind's Eye. The Sentiment if from Fiskars clear stamps and the paper ring is Basic Grey DP.

On the inside I used Happy Hippo 2 which you can find at JUST SOME LINES SHOP. I colored her with Copics and Atyou Spicas and added some Stickles to the inside of the flowers. Square cut with Nesties and other shapes, including shape used for sentiment are Lifestyle Crafts dies.

I sure hope you like it, would love to hear what you think!!

Additional challenges:

CRAFTY ANN'S - outside comfort zone (new fold)

FRESH BREWED DESIGNS - something new (new fold)
