Posh Girl :)

 

Hi sweet peeps and hope you are all OK today :)

Simon Says Stamp challenge and this week our theme is

.. here's the old card and it's a bright one (IRL it would take yer eyes out at 50 paces!!)

The stamp set I used is Avery Elle Hipster Hippopotamus -and it's a  verry popular choice.

 

*Avery Elle Clear Stamps HIPSTER-POTAMUS Set HP Hippopotamus

It's a really versatile set I think because you could do a boy or girl hippo. I went for a girl hippo and I chopped her tail off and gave her a bow. I also over-stamped the specs and then glittered them in the style of ......

th

... the fabulous Dame Edna.

Hello possums :))))

I think they make our lil hippo look very posh indeedy!!

The papers are from a Doodlebug LOVEBIRDS 6 x 6 Paper Pad and the borders were punched using a Martha Stewart Punch DOILY LACE TRIM Deep Edge Edger punch.

So glad I came by - Dame Edna... Ally McBeal... those were the days. Anyhoo, hot pink. No other color goes with hippos IMHO. Fabulous card.
