Water Scene Birthday Card

Hi Everyone,

this card did not come together easily - I think it shows....

I wanted to play along with the AAA birthday challenge - the theme is "Under the Sea" and the Addicted to CAS Challenge - the theme is water. Not sure if this is CAS enough....but what does it matter? This is just for the fun of it all.

I finally get to use that super cute whittle hippo from Memory Box and his little water friends.

I made a water color background with Brusho ultramarine. Die cut all those creatures. Added the sentiment (also Memory box). Splashed water drops onto the background. Had a strip of ancient patterned paper lying around and added it as border to my panel. Put everything together.

Not entirely happy with this, but it is, what it is....

Maybe you like it better.....

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Stamping!

Ein Hippo mit Schwimmreifen! Wenn das so ist, sollte es sich überlegen, das wasser vielleicht zu meiden??? oder nur in Pfützen baden???

If it's not CAS enough for them, who cares? It's so cute with the whittle hippo bobbing around with his/her inner tube and all the other water critters.
