Quick post today sharing the latest TGIF Challenge! It is one of my favorite kinds of challenges...a SKETCH Challenge! This is such a great way to get the creative juices flowing.

They were pretty fun to craft with, if I do say so myself. Haha. And here is the card sketch for the week! So you can see...I followed the sketch, but made a few tweaks. I moved the banner piece up under the focal point, used a hexagon instead of a circle and changed the size of the front cardstock piece. The hexagon I cut out from the Beautiful Shapes Dies and used a Blending Brush to add some Coastal Cabana color. I colored the hippos with Blends...can I just say how much I LOVE these markers?! They color so beautifully! I didn't do any blending of the colors...just used the two different shades to color them in. 😍 There is the cutest die set that you can also get from the Sale-A-Bration brochure that coordinates with the Hippest Hippos Stamp Set. Has some super cute and fun elements. And this flower was part of it! I just cut some out and added them to the background with sequins on top. This was such a fun & cheery card to do! I hope you enjoy it too! Now head on over to the TGIF Challenge Blog & play along with us this week! Can't wait to see what you make! Thank you so much for visiting!
