hungry hippo

Hello Friends, How are you today? Are you experiencing some extreme temps in your part of the world? On the east coast we have frigid temps with 5″ of fresh snow! No thank you!

Are you in the mood for a happy card? Paper Smooch stamps are always so delightful with beautiful & easy images to color. It’s an understatement to say I fell in love with this hungry hippo from Paper Smooches called, “Zoo Crew”.  Enamel accents were added to the hippos nostrils. I used a white gel pen to draw a line down the middle of the palm leaves. The ink that I used to stamp the ivy on the background is called Sea Glass but, I like to call it luscious.

You still have time to win a spot in Online Card Classes here. I hope you are having a good week and I will see you on Friday. Hugs, Kathy
