Hippo Inspiration Card

This week's card, was created 

using the Cuddly Critters Hippo digital image from Dr. Digi's House of Stamps. 

I colored in the hippo using markers, which is my favorite way to color. 

All papers and cardstock used are from Close to my Heart.

The "Be Fearless Sentiment" came from the Make Waves Complements Pack by Close to my Heart.

It's on clearance for only $2.25 (US).

I entered the card into the following challenges:

Cute Cat Themed Card

Today's card features the cat and sentiment from the Punny Pals Stamp Set. 

This Stamp Set was part of the Close to my Heart Operation Smile fundraiser. 

It has several adorable animals with various sentiments to match. 

I chose to use three main colors: Canary, Lagoon and Sapphire. 

These three are featured together in the new "Love of Color" How- to -Book from Close to my Heart. 

It has tons of layouts and card samples, using a variety of complimentary colors.
