Hippo Birthday to you!

We're doing something a little different at Pile It On this week: the challenge theme and sponsor coordinates with the current Sunshine Mail Foundation Challenge. I'm on the Sunshine Mail Design Team and am the sponsor coordinator for Pile It On, so this was my clever idea... hoping to get lots of cards for the kids!


I used 2 Cute Ink's Birthday Hippo digi stamp, which also is offered as a rubber stamp at Whimsy Stamps:


This is pretty simple card; I embossed the background with my Darice embossing folder, cut the sentiment with an amuse studio die, and deckled the edges of the  image with decorative scissors. The buttons were made by adhering silk ribbon to white cardstock and cutting/embossing with an SU! Embosslit. The "ribbon" behind the DP strip is Dry Wall Tape, my current favorite embellishment!
