CAS(E) This Sketch 113

Hello!

My youngest daughter came home this week and announced it was her teacher's birthday this week. After some investigations, she discovered that her teacher's favourite colour is green. We aren't sure which type of green, but I'm hoping it is any type of green, or at least the green we selected for her card. ;-)

I used the sketch from CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge #113 as my starting point. That made it easy! It's another great sketch!

I used Lawn Fawn Hippo Birdie stamp set.The green is SU! Gumball Green.

Today was a scorcher. It's technically supposed to be Autumn. I think Summer didn't get the message. I was in the air-conditioned office all day and emerged outside later in the day to be slammed by the HEAT and HUMIDITY. As I type this up, it's after 8pm and it's still over 33 degrees (that's 92f) with all the doors and windows wide open. I can see another sleepless night coming. Can I PLEASE swap with one of you lovelies who are stuck in yet another snowstorm? Pretty please? I'd give anything to be able to snuggle under a doona to sleep. :-)

Anyway, I'm going to go and shower and hope for a breeze to arrive to blow away this heat before I attempt to sleep. I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with using this sketch.

See you later!

Hippo Birdie!

Hello!

My crafty secret santa this year sent me a lovely selection of stamps, including this cute hippo and birdie set. I have been itching to put these cuties onto a card, and I finally found some time to actually do so! Yay! I have been admiring this pair in blogland for a while now. I'm so happy they've come to live with me. :-)

This card uses Lawn Fawn Hippo Birdie stamps and is coloured using a mix of Copics and SU! Blendabilities.

I'm made this card for a few challenges. Firstly was Darnell's NBUS challenge.

Also, One Layer Simplicity where the theme this month is Attractive Opposites - I used a big hippo and a small bird, and coloured them in complementary colours, yellow and purple.

And finally, this is my second entry to Virginia's View Challenge 11 - clean slate. 

I'm also entering this into Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge where the theme is Anything Goes.

This card didn't even make it into my stash. It seems it made the cut to be used for one of my husband's friends. I might need to make another. It makes me smile. :-)

Thank-you for visiting me!

P.S. My 12 year old daughter has started blogging (all sorts of 12-year-old interests) and yesterday she made a lovely watercolour painting that she shared. I'd love you to take a look and leave some love if you have a little time. :-) Liv Chronicles
