I am way out of my comfort zone with my card today. Dena is hosting at
Allsorts Challenge and her optional theme is Use a stencil.
I don't have very many in my crafty arsenal but this Funky Fossil one has been used a couple of times.
A lovely crafty friend gifted me some DI pads so I used those to create the delicate background in pink and lilac shades. The adorable little hippo is Trouble in a Tutu by Clearly Besotted (sadly retired but there are other cuties available!). I coloured her with Promarkers and popped her on the Whimsy Birthday die using foam tape.
Prizes from Oakwood (2 x A5 stamp sets) and Highlight Crafts (3 x A5 stencils)
Thank you for your continued support xx
A fabulous card Sarah,the hippo ballerina made me smile
ReplyDeleteBrilliant use of a stencil around your focal sentiment Sarah, and I love the cute dancing hippo - perfect! Xx
ReplyDeleteStepping out of your comfort zone can lead to wonderful discoveries, and your card is a testament to that! The soft pink and lilac hues created with the DI pads beautifully complement the adorable Trouble in a Tutu hippo from Clearly Besotted. It's fantastic to see how you've embraced the challenge theme and crafted such a delightful card for Dena's Allsorts Challenge.

ReplyDeleteYour colors used are very soft and pretty!
ReplyDeleteShe sure doesn't look like trouble in a tutu!
She's adorable!
How clever to use that little cutie like this. It's a masterclass in making a small stamp fit a larger card. Great stencilling too.
