I spotted a mid month reminder this morning for the current Stamping Sensations challenge where the theme is *Animal Magic* or of course *anything goes*. It so happens I was having a bit of a tidy up of my workspace and had come across these three fun hippos which were stamped, coloured with alcohol pens and fussy cut quite a while ago and I'd already decided it was about time they danced their way onto a card - so here they are. I also found the little cat and the tiny tufts of grass at the bottom of a container of 'bits' - handy or what? I cut a panel to fit a 7" x 5" card and adhered some 'sky' printed paper and a die cut strip of green for the 'grass'. A simple birthday greeting and that's a few more of my oddments used - always satisfying to see these being made into something which, hopefully, will give pleasure to the recipient of the finished card. There are animal themed prizes from A & C for the lucky winners at the end of the month.
Hippo Stamps - from Stampin' Up (retired)
Kitty - also from SU (retired)
Tufts of Grass - dies possibly also SU but cut ages ago and 'saved'
Die to Cut Grassy Edging - from MFT possibly no longer available
I'm so pleased our reminder prompted this fun card. Thanks for joining in at Stamping Sensations.
