CASEing the Catty - #CTC384 Case Sale-A-Bration Hippest Hippos & Hippo Dies

I had my card class this afternoon and I made this card for the CASEing the Catty Sale-A-Bration and for the class.  

You only have until Wednesday at 11.30 pm Adelaide time to place a $180 order to receive both the Hippest Hippos stamp set and matching Hippo Dies.

Welcome to the hop or you may have come from my lovely friend, Tina Gillespie.

Wow what a beautiful day it is in the Adelaide Hills today.

The next door neighbours wattle is out and my tulips are blooming for the very first time and the daffodils are smiling at me when I walk outside.

I am remembering my dad and the family home at Oakbank where they came from, my favourite time of the year is Spring.

Which season is your favourite?

I have chosen the layout and the stamp set for my theme this week which is featured on page 5 of the SaleA-Bration brochure which is pictured below.

I layered the Brushing Bride Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper onto Basic Black which I cut out both layers using the Deckled Rectangles Dies and then onto Crumb Cake cardstock for my base.

It was then time to use the Crumb Cake blends to colour in the oh so cute hippo which I had stamped in Black Memento.  

I cut out the decorate circle die from the Painted Labels in Blushing Bride and added a Balmy Blue umbrella and some flowers to create my centrepiece.  I used the waves dies from the Hippo Dies to create a boarder around the twine.  Finally finishing off the flowers with some Pearl embellishments.
