Wishing You a Happy Birthday

Welcome to a brand new challenge at Pattie’s Creations Challenge Blog! As always, the theme is Anything Goes, so feel free to get as creative as you’d like. 

For my DT card, I couldn’t resist using the adorable Henry the Party Hippo digital image to celebrate a special birthday! It’s just the perfect image to bring a smile to anyone’s face on their big day. I hope my card sparks some inspiration, and I look forward to seeing all the wonderful creations you’ll share with us!

I started by downloading the adorable Henry the Hippo digital image and had so much fun coloring him in with my Copic Markers. Once he was all colored, I used my Scan N Cut machine to carefully cut him out. For the background, I decided to dig through my paper stash and came across this vibrant, fun paper from Kat Scrappiness called Birthday Quokka. It coordinated perfectly with my birthday theme!

I cut the patterned paper to 4.25 x 3 inches for the main panel, then trimmed a smaller piece to 4.25 x 1 inches. For a bit of variety, I flipped the smaller piece over to showcase the reverse pattern. Both pieces were then adhered to a crisp white card base, creating a cheerful and colorful backdrop.

To complete the design, I stamped a birthday sentiment from Waffle Flower Crafts' Birthday Wishes Combo in black ink directly onto the card base. Finally, I popped the sweet hippo up on foam tape to add dimension and make him really stand out.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Wishing you a wonderful day filled with creativity and joy!
