Stamped the Hippo from Pun Fun set several times on white and colored it in using Sahara Sand marker. I cut the head from one image and popped it up on dimensionals on top of another image. I used a circle die to cut out that image. I glued some glitter onto the edge of a slightly larger circle cut out of Melon Mambo and layered the image on top of it. I embossed white using the Happy Birthday folder and put some heart brads in the corners before adhering to a Melon Mambo base card. The Happy Birthday sentiment came from the Sky Is The Limit set. Stamped in M. Mambo and punched using the Decorative Label punch (I repositioned and punched each edge again in order to make it smaller to fit on a M. Mambo punched base). I put the Hippo image and sentiment onto the card with dimensionals. I added the sticker flower; glitter Stickles to color the Hippo's nails and bow, and the "tutu" was taken from a party hat embellishment. (example shown below card) I added the balloons just behind the Hippo's head.

You are genius at using different things like the hippo tutu from that party hat. This is such a cute kiddie card! Thanks for posting the info on making the decorative label smaller too. Love those balloons!

Awesome! Great card for Letter H. Love the adorable hippo in the tutu and I like how you raised up her head. The balloons are wonderful, especially the Heart-shaped one. The heart brads in the corners are the perfect touch. Love the bright colors and the birthday embossing. What a happy card for a Happy Birthday! TFS
