Hippo Trio

 Ardyth's choice for featured stamper is Hannah. The challenge can be found here. FS962 {07/13/2025} - Moonlit-Arrow by Ardyth at Splitcoaststampers
Here is my inspiration. Bird and Hippos Best Friends by Moonlit-Arrow at Splitcoaststampers
I kept the orientation horizontal but added an additional Hippo. I used a different hippo from the same stamp set. I masked the hippos and put them in a line to perform their ballet. I liked Hannah's use of pink, purple and flowers. So, I added a designer series paper background with flowers and added pink tutus and ballet slippers. The hippo's nails are a light shade of purple, as is the paper behind the image panel. I colored the image with Copic Markers and added clear Wink of Stella to the tutus. I made my card a birthday card and used the sentiment from Sweet Jar.

These ballerina hippos are absolutely delightful! I love how you built on the original inspiration with an extra hippo and turned the scene into a playful performance. The soft pink tutus, dainty slippers, and even purple nails show such fun attention to detail. The floral background adds a sweet, whimsical charm, making this birthday card feel extra celebratory.

I loved her hippo card and actually tried for a bit to figure out how to case it (no luck). You did a beautiful job casing it, Sue. Love your dancing hippos and pretty paper. This is a lovely birthday card/case. Hugz

This card is filled to the brim with sweetness and will have some little girl dancing and twirling when she receives it.
