BIG Thanks!

I have made a card with a super cute new Simon Says Stamp stamp/die sets from their latest Favorite Things release!.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     This set has a number of cute hippos, and cute sentiments to go with them!  I chose the simplest of them, colored him, layered him and adhered him to a card that I had embossed some hearts, then colored and glossy accented three of the hearts.  I used the same markers that I had used to color the hippo, and made striped panels for either side of the card,  The card is a little bit shorter and thinner than an A2 card, took adjusting due to the stripes.  It took me a while and many tries of different layouts and backgrounds, to be happy, but I like how this guy turned out!  Here's a close up...

There was a blog hop over at the Simon Blog today, celebrating this wonderful new releasem, and there'll be another tomorrow...can't wait!  I hope you will hop along!!

Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa
