Ballerina Hippo for Holley's Celebration



Holley Tondre Barnhart is celebrating her 8th year of seizure free health with a month long event on her blog.  You can get the details HERE and read about her amazing journey to health HERE.  Holley is a very special and talented lady and shares her blessings with friends, family and all who know her.

In honor of this anniversary, Sandra Caldwell is offering 4 stamps for only $1.50, to participate in a contest with prizes.  You can find the details for the Hip Hip Hippo celebration HERE.  This time I'm using #1592 Ballerina Hippo. I've colored this cutie with Copics, cut her with a Spellbinders Scalloped Labels One die (inked with Spun Sugar Distress while still in the die) and popped her on top of another Spellbinders die, Luscious Labels One.



I've followed the Outlawz Wednesday Sketch, using my "go to" ballerina papers from MAMBI, actually called  "Baby Girl".  Yummy pinks, for sure.  I've matted each print with a darker solid and strung tulle through the lacy die.  More tulle as a base for the rose all tied up with ribbon.  Don't you agree she is "tutu"cute?

I'm also entering this in the Outlawz Saturday Paper ala Mode Lots of Layers DL.Art Thankful Thursday #222 Pink or Red Challenge, Lil Patch of Crafty Friends #76 AG, Your Scrapbook Place February AG, Simon Says Wednesday Add a Die Cut, the Classic Design Team Open Feb 1st Challenge #222,  Jo's Scrap Shack FFC#221 AG, and Two Crafty Critter Crazies Feb AG/w Critter (4/5), and Crafty Animals AG/w animal.
