Hippo Birthday to Our Baby


I’ve been blogging for probably about 15 years so, for those of you who have followed me for a long time, you know we have 3 kids who are now all adults.  Our BABY just turned 20, and we celebrated him last week.  After all these years his favourite colour is still yellow, so I created this cute slimline design for him using MFT’s Picture Perfect Party Animals stamp set.  He does his Mama’s heart good by loving all my artistic endeavours, so it was fun to see that he enjoyed this card.  He’s still a kid at heart which I love.  


Colouring on these cute faces is done with Copics and coloured pencils (just adding in the details and extra shading), as well as a few white gel pen highlights.  

For the background of the card I used a retired MFT Stencil and Distress inks, the circle motif ties in nicely with the balloons and enamel dot accents.  


They’re fun aren’t they?

Wow it is hard to believe they are all grown, time sure does fly by doesn't it! Pretty soon you may have grandbabies :)
