Hip-Hippo-Ray!

Kazan's Sketch #47 at 2 Sketches 4 You was just the avenue I needed tonight to squeeze in a card before the Bachelor finale comes on:) Yes, I'm a Bachelor fan...my dirty little secret, if you will.

I had to dust this sweet stamp set, Pun Fun, off after not having used it for so long! The circle panel on Kazan's sketch was the perfect size to showcase this cute little hippo. The Sweet Pea Designer Series Paper Pack was the color inspiration for my card...love the Taken with Teal and Pumpkin Pie!

I Stink You're Sweet

After seeing Nancy's fabulous card, I knew I had to get cracking on the Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #72. I also came across a new color challenge...Kelly Jo has a fun Color Chef Challenge #10 with Black, White, and any Choice Color. For my card, I used Kiwi Kiss as the choice color. To get the half circle, I used the Circle Scissor Plus, which I am determined to use MORE! The Rockabilly Specialty Designer Series Paper makes it easy to put a card like this together...so many coordinating patterns and colors. I colored the cute little skunk in with my Blender Pen and Going Gray ink.
