I have a fun card with animals and music notes. I am sure I saw this idea somewhere, but can’t give credit to the original creator since I do not remember where. Some things just stick in my head.
This card was created with Lawn Fawn Year Four. I stacked the hippos, using masking. The patterned paper is either Echo Park or MFT. The gray card base is Stampin Up. I had fun coloring and creating this card. It is birthday month in my household and this one has been like other years, I create several cards and hope one works well for one of my daughters. I think this one will go to a niece who is much younger than either of my daughters. Cardz 4 Galz wants cute animals and these hippos are sure cute. Seize the Birthday is looking for music. Since there are musical notes I will add it there. I can hear the hippos singing Happy Birdie to You!

Thanks for coming by. It is still very hot outdoors, so inside I remain. That gives me more time to create!

Very cute. You did a great job of masking and coloring the hippos. Fun card.
Thank! I masked it backwards the first time, so this is much better.
This is so cute! The poor hippo on the bottom 😉 Great job on your masking, this looks amazing.
Thank you! Yes, that poor hippo is holding a lot of weight.
This is an adorable take on the challenge and so well coloured. I love how you made the bottom hippo darker so it looks as if he is truly supporting the others. Your masking is first class.
Thank you! I just took a class on masking recently. I think it was a refresher, but it helped with these hippos.
Love those musical hippos, thanks for joining the make it musical themed challenge at Seize the Birthday
