Hippo-bird Day!

A word to the wise, I first tried stamping my hippo on green paper, and he ended up looking like one very sea-sick hippo LOL!

Discovered The Alley Way Stamps Topic Tropic is the perfect set for "Hippo-bird Day" cards, especially when combined with Alphabet Soup to complete the perfect sentiment.  Papers are a mix of Echo Park Country Drive and American Crafts Dear Lizzy Neapolitan, die cut with Spellbinders scalloped circle and EK Success scalloped border punch. Just had to add a cute button and some googly eyes for the finishing touches :)

Inspired by this weeks Sweet Sunday Sketch, Creative Stamp Friends Paper Piecing, and Fashionista Challenge "Things with Wings".

Hope you have a FAB weekend!

Freshly Made Colour Throwdown with Ribbon...

Love this teal and coral colour combo at Colour Throwdown this week, combined with this versatile Freshly Made Sketch and The Ribbon Carousel's Paper Piecing Challenge. Gorgeous flamingo stamp from The Alley Ways Tropic Topic with sentiment combined from Tropic Topic, Alphabet Soup and Chatterbox. Papers are a combination of MME, Authentique, Basic Grey, Kaisercraft and Bella, with grosgrain ribbon and Kaisercraft black pearl eye.

Hope you have a fabulous day :)
