Hippo Bird Day

 Hello-

With spring like temps this week, my mojo must be thawing out some.  I had fun making these cards for the nephews even though they are not needed until May.

I was inspired by Time Out Challenge, Just Us Girls, and Addicted to CAS, Its a 7th birthday celebration and Birthday or celebration challenge at Time Out, and animals are the theme at Just us Girls and Addicted to Cas.


I had to make two cards, they were such fun to color.


I do love a good punny card, so the sentiment just cracked me up. I used copics to color the animals and since its for males, I kept the colors to two with the neutral for the hippos. I love MFT's dies for grounding shadows. I never know what to do with grounding the images, problem solved.

Thanks for visiting.

So adorable, and yes -- love the puns! As for grounding, what die did you use? I never thought of using a die but it's an odd shape and I can't place it...

Hi, Cat! It's no surprise that so many people have responded so favorably to your hippo cards! I like that you have limited the colors to gray and brights and particularly like the second one with the bright blue balloons. I'm glad it's not football season so you could play with us at ATCAS! Hugs, Fran
