Freshly Made Sketches 202

Hi! Happy Saturday!

Today I am sharing a card I made for Freshly Made Sketches!

I really liked this sketch! 

And the samples that the DT members made this week are all so fabulous, they certainly inspired me to play along!

Here is my take...

I have seen so many cute cards with this stamp set, and I just had to have it myself! Those critters are just so darn adorable, and their smiles make you so happy, don't they!?

I have been experimenting with "photo shoots" in different spots in the house...

My house has a lot of windows but I don't get a lot of bright, natural lights in! This is my desk, they came out a bit brighter than usual, but at this point, I am just not sure...lol

I used the biggest paint brush I have and water colored those stripes with Smokey Slate. 

I then stamped my cute hippo and bird on some patterned papers from the I Am Me DSP (LOVE this DSP pack!) and die cut them. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do from there, but when I stamped the sentiment, which is super cute!, I noticed the little music note stamp. So I stamped it on the banner, then die cut my music notes in the same patterned papers. 

I placed everything on my stitched square vellum. I chose vellum because I like my bold stripes and did not want to cover them up! Of course I had to add some sparkles, otherwise it's just not a party!

Don't they look like they're having a good time singing "hippo birdie" !?
