I recently won a Polkadoodles challenge and got to pick an image as my prize. I came across "Helga Hippo" when I was choosing a Design Team image for the end of May. Isn't she just a cutie? I have used the Polkadoodles image "Helga Hippo - Sitting Pretty".
I have coloured her in with Promarkers and chalked the sky and used a new stencil to add the sun's rays shining down on Helga.
The backing papers are from The Works.
I have finished the card off with some stamped and fussy cut Easter eggs (I used scraps of the floral paper and the orange paper to stamp on - waste not, want not), stamped sentiment, purple seam binding ribbon, pink ric rac ribbon, John Lockwood Cornflower die-cut flowers, Sue Wilson greenery die-cut from green card and the flowers were finished off with some rather gorgeous gems a friend sent me from Holland.
Despite everything I hope you can all manage a Happy Easter. Special wishes to those that have poorly loved ones and ALL of the people that are still working during this pandemic.
