My image is one of the new Lelo Designs, and is called “Hippo Birthday” isn’t that a cute name! Colored with my Copics, and then I added two metal corner brads, they really look pink here… they match better in person.
The pattern papers are My Minds Eye Laundry Line, yummy and glittery. I found a peach colored card stock for the base and for the band across the middle. I made two or three different bands for the middle and decided I liked this one best. Punched on both sides with one of Martha Stewart’s border punches. I dotted the edges of it with white gel pen, and then added a small satin ribbon in the same shades of the papers.
I distressed the edges of all the layers, I don’t do that very often, wowow what a mess… the puppy was rolling in paper fuzz! Had to grab her up quick and clean it up and off of me and her. Wow messy, but I like the lookon the card! LOL I used one of the Making Memories Distressing tools, safe – razor blade is inside of the plastic handle less likely to get injured, at least for me. I rubbed the razor over every edge of the card, all the layers and the image. Gives a great Fuzzy look to the edges.
Hope you enjoy my Hippo Birthday… I think he is a great image for anyones Birthday young or ahem old.
Make sure to take a look at all the great Lelo Designs – cute!
