Ballerina Hippo - Sketch & Stash Challenge 18 / Passion for Promarkers Week 15

Well I've done 2 cards & I just cant decide which I prefer! Both are the same LO & stamped image, but the colours are different & I like them both in different ways!

Challenges:
Sketch and Stash - Use the LO provided & either new or forgotten stash item
Passion for Promarkers - Theme is "Girly & Glittery"

Green & Purple Hippo:
I like how I've coloured this image using Lavender, Lilac, Meadow Green, Apple & Pastel Green promarkers.
The sketch is from Sketch & Stash and my "new" stash is the image which I stamped up from my friend Ruth.
The papers are all Lili of the Valley.

This particular card will be saved for my mums birthday as we have a history of "ballerina hippos" & she loves the colour green!

Blue Hippo:
Once again the LO is from the Sketch & Stash challenge, here not only is the stamped image a new one (I stamped up a few when Ruth came round lol) but also the strip of fun paper is one I've never used before - Daisy Bucket "Bloomin Paislies / Dazzling Darbie", amazing what you find routing round in your stash!
I love how I've done the ballerina skirt here with glitter, though cannot credit it as an original idea as I saw it done in pink by one of the DT on the Friday Sketchers blog, thought it was so cute & had to try for myself!
Hippo is coloured this time in Sky Blue, Agean, Cornflower Blue, Cool Grey 2 & 4



Taken at a slightly different angle with the sun hitting it so you can see the glitter!
