Paper Smooches SPARKS April Anything Goes Challenge

This week’s Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge is an Anything Goes challenge. I made a colorful,  punny birthday card for the challenge.

My card uses the hippo from the Zoo Crew set as the focal image. The hippo is colored with Spectrum Noir markers and cut out, then attached to a dotted patterned paper panel with dimensional dots. I attached the dotted paper and a coordinating plaid paper to a green panel, wrapping the panel with some cheery yellow baker’s twine before adhering it to a light blue card base. I combined the “hippo” from the Zoo Crew set and the “birthday” from the Birthday Buddies set to get the sentiment stamped underneath the paper panels.
