Hippo Hooray

10/9/2020

Excellent! It's sketch time again here at Fab Friday #199!
I felt like having a color-fest today, so OF COURSE my Rainbow Glimmer got to come out to play! I'm not sure why, but this paper always reminds me of the cutesie Hippo Happiness set, lol. Can't you just see rainbow hippos out having a party? I can, but maybe that's the Bailey's talking, you never know, lol. Anyway, a quick and cheery rainbow card is just what the stamp doctor ordered today - almost as good as chickens!
So what will YOU create? I hope you're ready to come be fabulous with us!

Champagne Celebration

Hm, Time Out Challenge #171 sure has a fun word play to inspire us this week, lol.
I'm heading to the vault for one of my fave champagne sentiments, from Balloon Celebrations! This set was so awesome, with the fun balloon punch, but for me, it was really all about the mix and match drink sentiments! Tea? Coffee? Hot chocolate? Yes, please! I also matched it with my fave champagne flutes from Making Spirits Bright - I can hear the little "clink" now!

Excellent, The Sisterhood of Crafters has a "masculine" challenge going this week for us - I always need more man cards!
I had an itch to water-paint and fussy cut today, so I went with Whiskey Business for today's card. I matched it up with this tweedy sheet from the In Good Taste paper pack for a more manly look, too - this set loves this DSP! I tried out some new whiskey colors today, too - Bumblebee & Cinnamon Cider do a great whiskey job together, too! I even did the twist, lol. Too fun!

Woo hoo! Happy 7th Birthday to The Male Room #141 - what a milestone! I think this calls for a card!
I haven't had Pampered Pets out for inking since Critter Class - {GASP!} Let's fix that right now, lol! While I'm at it, I'll check off another box, which was to fussy cut one of the fabulous extra dogs from the gorgeous DSP - and the Great Dane was at the top of that list! I put together a fun little play with the DSP, did a two-color job with markers on my sentiment, and perched that pooch over all - love it! I even still had a little bone trinket left for him! What a birthday!

Oo, check out the bright colors that Hand Stamped Sentiments #345 has for us this week!
I'm really not sure why anymore, but these days, these bright colors send me straight to Hippo Happiness, lol. Too much Fantasia as a child? Maybe! I can just see hippos parading all over the place in bold colors, smiling away, every time! I kept this one fairly low-key - only ONE hippo! But she did get balloons, at least! A few enamel dots finishes me off. And can I just put in another plug for the Playing With Patterns DSP? So many fun colors and patterns, I'm finding I can use it with SO many designs! It fills a lot of niches for me!

We're throwin' back at this week's Try Stampin' on Tuesday #467! I'm adding in some coloring, too, for SU Only #467!
I honor of the throwback. I decided to pull out a retired set, too, and 2009's The More the Merrier is still one of my faves! Lots of little cuties in a row to color in - perfect for today's challenge! I decided to accent with a little strip of dotty paper from our Playing With Patterns pack, and took my colors from there. So fun coloring all these cupcakes with our Blends!
So what will YOU create? I can't wait to see your projects, out at the challenges!

LOVE the combo at this week's Fusion "relaxed living" challenge - summer cottage, all the way!
I couldn't resist pulling out my old Please Be Seated set from {GASP} 2005 - I knew I wanted to use one of these chairs to go with the great inspiration pic! I ended up having to move my colors around, I think my Balmy Blue Gingham Gala DSP was the first to go, lol, so I the check in yellow, and colored the rocker blue instead. I even snuck in a touch a of the green! I might have to send this as a tongue in cheek birthday for a friend, too, lol...

Now here's an intriguing challenge from Less is More #422 - to use a solid AND an outline on your card - hmm!
So, doing a quick search for outlines and solids, I finally settled on Special Someone - I don't use this cute set enough, and I'm happy it carried over, so I better get to it! I haven't even used these hearts before, which are meant to be balloons so I thought I'd feature them, and keep it simple, just for LIM, lol. I like how it came out, and my Poppy Parade is nice and bright! Happy card!

Way to Goat

Very cool - The Male Room #138 has a SKETCH this week - love that!
So I guess I'll just continue my critter preview theme here, lol, and introduce Way to Goat! I think this could be a great one for a guy, lol. I picked this compact little guy for my goat, and put a birthday sentiment on the inside (you old goat, lol.) Then I couldn't resist putting a few cans around the place, too. It just makes me laugh, what else can I say?? I also fell into the scrambled layers by accident - as I cut stuff for the card, and threw them over in a little pile, I really liked how they looked all turned out of order, so I kept that, too. Very goat-esque, as well!

Oh my goodness, what's not to love about the yummy cover at this week's The Library Challenge #61??!! Yes, please!
I couldn't resist trying my hand and building a big beautiful cake using our old Hello Cupcake set from 2019's Sale-A-Bration - especially since I have the dies that go with to help me along, lol. Inspired by the strawberries, I'm keeping it all cake and pink cream - delicious! I trimmed down my cupcakes, layered them with the frosting swoosh, and topped it all off with the giant swirl - hopefully in Cupcake Wars style, lol. So fun!
