My friend, Jennifer McGuire, made the cutest card with this hippo and I just had to buy this stamp set. You must pop over to her blog if you haven’t yet because she’s having the BIGGEST GIVEAWAY!! Jennifer & Kristina are also sharing a Q&A. Such talented friends but, even better than their talent is their hearts. They both have big hearts!

I added glossy accents to the hippos nostrils and twice to the balloon.  Enamel accents were added to the eyes. See you tomorrow! Hugs, Kathy

P.S. Did you see my GIVEAWAY from yesterday? Simon Says Stamp is donating some Copics markers to two lucky readers! Woo Hoo

    This is so cute!! I like that the balloon is off the card at the top like that. The addition of the glossy accents rocks.

    So cute Kathy. There’s just something about a bird standing on a hippo that always makes me smile! You have done an awesome job colouring, as you always do.

  37. Joan VanCourt says

    WooHoo, what a fun card. I just love your coloring. And DOTS with your white pen. I hope someday you will do a little teaching video about the placement of dots. Have a great day.

    This is so adorable! Your colouring looks amazing! I’ve already fallen behind with my colouring every day.

  46. Bobbie says

    Yet another awesome card. How do you ever get the background so soft? Mine always have an uneven blend and just can’t seem to get it right. Thanks for a great day,
