I added a bunch(12 to be exact) rhinestones that could either be interpreted as falling snow or stars. The full moon (hee!) was made by masking with a scrap circle and sponging Night of Navy ink. I went back in after removing the mask on the udnerside of the moon an his bottom for a nice rounded effect. :) Card base is Incandescent Blumarino from Paper Temptress, a navy paper that has such an amazing shimmer, you have to see it to believe it. I outlined the hippo, portions of the trees and bright and happy" in my greeting with the Stardust glitter pen. White CS and ribbon are both Gina K Pure luxury.
Card also uses Gina K's"Seasonal Sayings" and "Tree Silhouettes" (only a couple days left to earn it free with three sets!)
Only a couple hours til the next peek! (for real!!)
Not nice....you got me all excited thinking I was gonna get one more peek before I turn into a pumpkin. I love the "full moon"!!!! Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful talent.
ReplyDeleteLOL, that is so cute!! I would have never thought of using the hippo for a winter card.
ReplyDeleteBut I have to agree with the first post. It was mean of you to have a title like that and have it not be a new set. :p

ReplyDeleteAwwwwwwwww..... too cute!!!!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I was just checking out your blog as I do daily. I just caught the top part of the card, which I must add is beautiful and when I scrolled down and saw the darling Hippo I burst out laughing. If I wake my husband up with these outbursts it will be your fault :)
ReplyDeleteI never would have though to use a hippo on a Christmas card. What an awesome idea! Your card is so sweet.
