Happy hippo birthday!

Hey, hey! How are you doing? We had a lovely sunny day today, perfect for a short walk. Short, because even though it was sunny it was still cooooold. During the night we got some more snow and even though there was not enough to make a snowman, we were still able to enjoy it. I mean, you don't really need much snow to have a snowball fight, right? ;) My (not so) lil one loved every single minute of it and so did I. Sometime it's the little things that count the most, don't you agree?

A friend of mine celebrated her birthday a couple of days ago and I made a card for her. She's already received it so I can show it to you. 

I went back to my usual style (full of layers) with this one ...


Most of the time when I think of creating a bright and positive card my mind immediately goes to yellow colour, so no wonder you can see quite a lot of it here. I paired the yellow cardstock with patterned papers from MME and some white cardstock. I didn't use any embellishments, only a few die cuts to decorate the card. I am not 100% happy with how the sentiment turned out, but since I don't have a printer and no such sentiment among stamps, I had to improvise with alphabet stamps. The sentiment is in Slovenian and it means "happy birthday". I combined two stamps from the MFT stamp set to create the image I used on the card here and I did the colouring with polychromos.


I hope you can see the dimension of this card on the picture above.

So much from me today. Have a beautiful day! xx

I'd like to enter my card to the following challenges:
Allsorts: Spots and/or stripes
Word art Wednesday: Anything goes
Ally's angels: Anything goes
