This month the Design Challenge is to make an animal card using the Surprise Ball and the Bitty Ball! Here’s what I made.

I started with a large base card – this is 5 1/2 x 7. The background is a Lawn Fawn Brick Stencil with dye inks and some Distressed Oxides to make the green around it. I used a Crosshatch Circle with the Celebrate die and the Alphabet dies to create the sentiment. The flowers are from the Backyard Charms.

I used magnets on the inside to hold this card closed, and it closes really flat!

When you open the card, the hippos are kissing!

You can run them to the front and read the message I created on my computer.

The bottom halves are the Surprise Balls and the tops are the Bitty Balls. I also used the Animal Add On 2 to create the hippos.
Hope you enjoy the card! Make sure to check out the other team members designs. Karen’s post will be on Wednesday! Hugs, Fran
